What a Cree Bride May Have Worn - 1880's.

[image description: semi realistic flat colored, digital drawing of a light brown skinned Cree woman with dark brown hair in braids, a cream colored tanned hide dress, who is leading an American Paint horse by a lasso. The Cree woman has two large dots of red ochre painted on the apples of her cheeks, and single line of red ochre across her forehead. She has 4 lined tattoos running down her chin, and to lines extending outward to make an inverted "V" from the corners of her mouth. Her braids are tied off with circular conch shell ties, and she wears a beaded blue belt with red triangular detailing, a blue beaded necklace, and a bone choker with red beads. She has red and white moccasins with a long, fringed dress, with red pigment yoke painted onto the dress, and blue and white quillwork underneath. She has a Hudson's Bay blanket over her right shoulder. Speech bubbles pointing to the relevant details are as listed in bullet points below. end image description.]

Weddings usually were not as formal, big events in Cree culture, but there were some formalities and gifts that were exchanged, including what's depicted here.

Horse: marriage dowry. She was gifted a horse in exchange for marriage. All horses belonged to her.

red ochre makeup, for special occasions, and chin tattoos indicating status as a married woman.

newly made moccasins and a blanket: gifts from her intended. She was gifted the moccasins alongside the horse.

A Plains Cree physician who practices family medicine in Alberta says it’s shameful that Conservative Premier Danielle Smith is playing politics with transgender issues.

“It’s really important to know that people don’t do this [gender affirmation] lightly,” said Dr. James Makokis, who identifies as Two-Spirit and works directly with trans patients. “It is something that they’ve known their entire life.

“And clinicians do thorough assessments of ensuring that people when they say they’re trans, they’re trans and we just ensure that there’s not medical contra-indications to doing so and there is a thorough assessment process of that.”

On Wednesday, Smith announced a number of policy changes on social media that will restrict medical access to those seeking gender affirmation therapy – especially transgender youth.

Cree Moccasins, 1894-1960

[Image description: a pair of Native Moccasins made from deer hide. The inside and soles are a faded greyish-tan color. The outer rim of the foot of the moccasin has white beads with diamonds with alternating colors of blue and yellow, and lined thickly in red, evenly spaced against the white. The inside of the rim has a background of blue beads with a vertically stacked, dark yellow, horizontal diamond design, outlined with white that are outlined in red. A single white & red rectangle sits at the centre of the two diamonds. End image description.]

Cree Elders Get Emotional When I Speak Their Dying Language - Xiaomanyc

"Anyway, I was challenged to come out in the middle of the ice cold winter to remote northern Saskatchewan to learn Cree, one of the world’s most difficult and highly endangered languages, by Patrick, a dancer from Canada’s indigenous Cree people, and then try to give a speech in Cree in front of a room full of skeptical elders. We also went dog sledding, sweat lodging, and moose eating – a truly unique First Nations / Native American experience! If you want to learn some Cree, Patrick and his family have Cree courses available at repeataftermecree.com"

This is honestly so amazing and so beautiful to see. I wasn't raised close with my indigenous family, but I do know a few words and phrases myself. It's an incredibly hard language to learn and speak, and even my cousins who grew on reserves don't speak much if any at all. It's made me even more committed to taking classes to learn as well to help preserve my culture and language.

I'm so grateful to Ari, aka Xioma, for making this video and taking the time to learn and share everything he has. Language truly does bring people together.

my redesigned Plains Cree character, Joanna Jay “Jay” Allan

I’m still trying to collect some good, legitimate resources for Plains Cree beadwork, but from what I have I decided that an aspect of her character would be incorporating beadwork and jewelry into her outfits to stay connected to her identity while out in space.

I also gave her brothers glasses, so I figured glasses run in the family and gave her a pair. she otherwise wears contacts

I’m also changing her original surname, Black, to become Allan. I finally found a source for some common Cree surnames. I want to be as accurate as I can, and I think Allan fits nicely with the A’s in Jay and her brothers’ names (Jay, Adam, and Wallace). so now they are Jay Allan, Adam Allan, and Wallace “Wally” Allan.

2 Spirit Dream Catcher Dot Com by Theo Jean Cuthand

“2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com queers and indigenizes traditional dating site advertisements. Using a Butch NDN "lavalife" lady (performed by director Thirza Cuthand), 2 Spirit Dreamcatcher Dot Com seduces the viewer into 2 Spirit "snagging and shacking up" with suggestions of nearby pipeline protests to take your date to, and helpful elders who will matchmake you and tell off disrespectful suitors. It's the culturally appropriate website all single 2 Spirit people wish existed. Following up on her video "2 Spirit Introductory Special $19.99," this work examines the forces of capitalism through envisioning a "financially unfeasible" service for a small minority community.”

 Reclamation by Theo Jean Cuthand

“After white people leave Earth en masse for Mars, the Indigenous people left behind contemplate their place in healing the world and what happens next.

Hasn't left my window since we moved in last year. This day means so much to my family and I as we're still without answers for some of our own family.

Not seeing enough representation of yourself in media means getting that rep through your favorite characters so:

Gakushuu is now mixed (he probably already was hence the blonde hair) and his mom is an indigenous woman who likes traveling, but he inherited most of his father's genes

#if there is rep (which there is- go watch reservation dogs) id still do it #anyway plains cree Gakushuu ✊🏽 #unfortunately he won't be connected with it much but has lots of knowledge of it #he'll know the language because being fluent in a language that's slowly dying is impressive essentially with it's lack of resources online #(rip for me lol 💔) #assassination classroom #ansatsu kyoushitsu #asano gakushuu #gakushuu asano
