Chantsha Wakanhdi (Native Translation: Spirit Beauty (English Translation))

This striking image of a Native American woman proudly professes strength and beauty. This stretched canvas is an abstract painting that reflects the incredible history of Rights, Trauma, and Survival of Indigenous People in the Americas. In tribute to this, it is an honor to share what was meant to be a subtle political statement - Colonialism is Genocide and it is Ongoing. The juxtaposition of the nuanced beauty of the painting against the painful truth of our history speaks the language of forgiveness, healing, resistance, and claim for reparations for Indigenous Peoples. Honor and amplify the voices of Indigenous People, remain vocal about their struggles, and celebrate the ways they have maintained their way of life in the face of centuries of oppression. Hang this image in a place of honor in residence or businesses to be reminded of the beauty, gentleness, and love of the Indigenous People as they live out the original care for this land–an intentional reminder of the importance of respecting Indigenous Rights as Human Rights. Be a part of the conversation, of the stakeholder of justice, and of the movement for Self-Determination and Sovereignty–we must mention the irony of selling products to spread this message, but a portion of the proceeds go to support NativeHope.org's MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) campaign. This unique and striking stretched canvas image measures 12x18 inches and is a celebration of Indigenous beauty, courage, and resilience that requires the viewer to confront the stark contrast of its truth with the centuries of genocide that has been, and that continues to be, a prevalent force throughout this land we call home.
