"The teachings speak of how we are to view all our relations- the two legged, four legged, finned, winged, rooted, and flowing in terms of Brotherhood. It is through this non-judge mental, compassionate, understanding, and appreciative view of the world that we can understand how non-hierarchal relationships benefit all our relations. When we think in this way, we are better able to recognize our place as well as others in the realm of life and this recognition brings about important principles of harmony, justice, and uni-ty." - Mike Alexander is an emerging Anishinaabe artist originally from Swan Lake First Nation in Treaty #1 territory, who lives on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. His spiritual name is Animikianikwad, or Thundercloud Man. A member of the Crane Clan, Mike's art serves to communicate stories and teachings of the Ojibway people Show more
