Our Services
-
We have currently authored two books - This Native American Life & What Is That?
The first book documents our private family collection of regalia. Many families have lost their regalia over the past 150 years due to theft, fire, flood, and time. We hope to not only grow our own family’s collection - but to inspire others to do so as well.
The second book focuses on teaching the Nimiipuu language in an easier phonetic way so that the youth can better learn the words. We created this book for our own kids in order to raise them in the language earlier.
-
This option is for groups, classrooms, colleges, luncheons or dinners where we can talk from our artistic perspective. In our experience, traditional artists - many times, have become a relic of the past as opposed to modern abstract art. Our art is tied to generations of knowledge, organic and earth focused practices, and hours of intense labor of love. This talk focuses on design, meaning, intention and our place in the ever modernizing world.
