An exhibition at Boomalli and Performance Space "to celebrate Mardi Gras 2008. Join us for the opening night of Diamonds in the Rough as we celebrate Mardi Gras by exhibiting the jewels of the NSW Aboriginal art scene. The exhibition will highlight the artists lived experiences as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQI people from our communities. This year we are partnering with Create NSW, ACON, Macquarie University and Young Henry's to bring you this exciting exhibition. "Through research, documentation and production, this project will demonstrate how using the potential of the “Healing Arts” and decolonisation highlights the processes and issues regarding the Wellbeing of Aboriginal practitioners and others. Making art and putting a high value on storytelling as a way of bringing cultural values into the mainstream, is a holistic approach to wellbeing as well as a way of participating in society and having a voice."

Native Land Digital Territory Acknowledgement Territory acknowledgement is a way that people insert an awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights in everyday life. This is often done at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, or any public event. It can be a subtle way to recognize the history of colonialism and a need for change in settler colonial societies.

With this book, Richard Pearce develops a history of Plains women artists who have chosen to express themselves through ledger art. These artists seek to provide a woman’s perspective on tribal history, sometimes slightly different than that portrayed by male artists, and thus they serve as revisionists of Plains cultural memory.

especially see "quilling society," p. 50 (Pearce) and Ahalenia - Cheyenne Quilling Society For thousands of years, indigenous people created and evaluated art according to our own standards. In the last few centuries, non-Native people have collected, critiqued, categorized, and theorized about Native art to such an extant, that in some venues they temporarily drowned out Native perspectives. Fortunately the tide is turning, with more tribes establishing their own museums, more Native peoples curating their own art shows, and more Native writers contributing to the canon of Native American art history. One window into historical indigenous perspectives on one genre of art can be found in Plain’s women’s quilling societies.

“Paint with Purpose” will be held at The Santa Fe Convention Center on
Saturday, January 18th from 5pm-9pm where we will gather 300-350 attendees. We will start with a Silent Auction, then dinner, and then folks will break out in a paint session with the artist they chose when buying their ticket. We will then gather again as a large group and close the evening together. The art part of the event will be fashioned like a large format art class, “paint and sip” style, where attendees will paint along with a top Santa Fe Artist on an image that they are guided on, step by step. This event will celebrate The Life Link’s 33 years of providing essential services
and programs to those in our community that need housing support, mental health support, substance abuse support, and human trafficking aftercare.

I can't express my appreciation, and how much I am honored to be part of OneGreen Society. One of my (perhaps the) favorite explorations is Plains Indians Ledger Art, and Women and Ledger Art. I love this opportunity to explore further, and you can look at my beginning (this morning) at http://www.roadtriptravelogues.com/one-green-society.html. This will give you a good introduction to this incredible artistic realm that I love so much. Please, would you reply with an address to which I can send you a copy of Women and Ledger Art, by Richard Pearce. I hope these artists and others that we find can be part of the cadre of artists at OneGreen Society, as well as writers collected in Reinventing the Enemy's Language - Contemporary Women's Writings of North America, edited by Joy Harjo and Gloria Bird. I mentioned this on the phone, Joy Harjo is Poet Laureate of the US. Perhaps Harjo can source writers for One Green Society. Contemporary women aboriginal/native/First Nations artists and writers will be focus for now? Three primary generative sources I will use are Strange Natures - Futurity, Empathy, and the Queer Ecological Imagination, by Nicole Seymour (locating queer theory and ecocriticism via the contemporary transgender novel, and "cinematic vision" as Seymour calls it). Enter films and fiction to this queer mix - pun intended. The feminist ecology perhaps best informed by Woman and Nature, the Roaring Inside Her, Susan Griffin, and Staying with the Trouble, Making Kin in the Chthulucene, Donna J. Haraway. Seymour, Griffin and Haraway are life changing to me. Best, and enjoy your weekend (labor of love:heart:

I'm looking at indigenous arts and artists, dancers, performers, writers, poets, storytellers, filmmakers, producers, musicians, chefs, weavers, scholars, teachers, linguists, and creators of indigenous social media. I see themes and threads of generosity, warriorship, futurity, empathy, forgiveness and not. It is a collective impact - to experience these artists and their beautiful and honest work is to gain understanding of their people, how to care for them and acknowledge them, their lands, how to fight for them and for what to fight. As a colonist American, I feel great shame for what my ancestry represents, and what my colonist ancestry have done to First Nations people. I feel great shame for now. I don't take this shame to myself, it is just to know the history and products of the wrongs, and change them. I do not want to continue being an invader. There is no past tense. I believe I look to the future and healing through indigenous examples, therefore I embrace them. In futurity, politically, I act through understanding, acknowledgement, and with lessons from First Nations art. The images propensity toward 1) spirituality and teachings of Wisdom Keepers; 2) "reinventing the language of the enemy." 3) sacred places, spirit animals and the sacred beings of nature - water, air, fish, buffalo, birds. 4) issues - nutrition, missing and abused women, family violence, human trafficking, addiction, decolonization - taking back stealing and stolen lands, destruction by fossil fuels, stealing and stolen culture and languages.

I am Honored that you would send an an invitation to climate camp as well. I am more than just a little disappointed. I have Oregon in travel plans for this summer. I’m hopeful. It’s suddenly a crowded year. I took the liberty of telling Karina Ramirez about your planned indigenous panel, and she tells me she will be in touch, soon. I hope you don’t mind. Will you record the panel? I would love it! (hint hint) While you’re on the line, here are two premises for indigenous diversity at CCL:

ancestral wisdom
- "Australia was colonized by the British in 1788, with settlers systematically working to decimate the existing indigenous population through violence. Those who survived found themselves herded onto Christian mission compounds and forced to adopt a more Western lifestyle, with the result being the loss of traditional knowledge systems, based on many thousands of generations of observing nature. The recent surge in interest in indigenous fire management is an implicit sign that many Australians recognize the value of what was very nearly lost.” from How Australia's Indigenous Experts Could Help Deal With Devastating Wildfires. Time Magazine. AARTI BETIGERI JANUARY 14, 2020. https://time.com/5764521/australia-bushfires-indigenous-fire-practices/?fbclid=IwAR0C5bOJbGRUEKLpaPary7TCu_ySR-uu7GvVLJ9CsZaF97rWE4b-65sMVvg
- This passage from House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday. (2010). Harper Perennial (pub.) New York. - “The Eagle Watchers Society was the principal ceremonial organization of the Bahkyush. Its chief, Patiestewa, and all its members were direct descendants of those old men and women who had made that journey along the edge of oblivion. There was a look about these men, even now. It was as if, conscious of having come so close to extinction, they had got a keener sense of humility than their benefactors, and paradoxically a greater sense of pride. Both attributes could be seen in such a man as old Patiestewa. He was hard, and he appeared to have seen more of life than had other men. In their uttermost peril long ago, the Bahkyush had been fashioned into seers and soothsayers. They had acquired a tragic sense, which gave to them as a race so much dignity and bearing. They were medicine men; they were rainmakers and eagle hunters.” (p. 15)
