My profile photo was taken by my friend Bangishimo, who currently has a show at the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery called “The Medicines We Carry.” Here’s one of their photos, of my friend Brittney, who is another excellent artist (primarily beadwork, quillwork, and leatherwork). Bangishimo is Anishinaabe and Brittney is Mi’kmaw. #IndigenousCreatives#Photography#IndigenousArt@waterlooregion@WaterlooEvents#KWAwesome#Anishinaabe#Mikmaw

Bought #IndigenousArt carving made by an artist of a prominent Burrard Nation family, a special request from my in-laws. The souvenir shops have useless silent staff so we went upscale to a gallery with knowledgeable staff. @3goodthings
