Mato Ošgéka (Earth's Woman)

Cross-hatched with fibers that make it highly durable and resistant to stretching or sagging without an internal frame, this canvas will make a lasting impression. #ProductDescription This canvas depicts an incredibly powerful and beautiful portrait of an Indigenous woman in sunset hues. This image is not a photo; it is an image derived from the masterful hand of the artist. The vision is of a proud and resilient native woman standing tall in a world where colonialism is very much ongoing and the Genocide of Indigenous people on Turtle Island has affected the lives of many over the centuries, distorting the truth of the vast and vibrant culture that thrived here for centuries. In addition to capturing a beautiful image, this canvas carries a very real and timely message. It speaks of the beauty and strength of Indigenous people in today's world yet uses its message to acknowledge the fact that colonialist powers have attempted to erase Indigenous people in disregarding their rights, violating treaties and ruthlessly pursuing their own gain at the expense of Indigenous people. Despite all of these attempts, Indigenous people continue to fight and refuse to succumb to the cultural erasure that has been perpetuated and enshrined in the systems of modern America. The irony of commodifying a product with purchase to spread this message is not lost, but nor is the power of using that commodification to support organizations in the fight against the ongoing genocide of the Indigenous. A portion of the proceeds for this product will go to support NativeHope.org and their campaign to support Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. So show your support for the Indigenous people of this land, and express their beauty, strength and resilience with this canvas proudly hung in your home.
