I had the pleasure of working with @raven.richie.arts a professional fri-skier, and Wet'suwet'en native from Fernie; British Columbia. The dudes got an infectious positive attitude, and just an overall just a really rad dude. Not to mention his art is amazing. If you're down for the cause, and supporting the Native art scene go check out his art you won't be disappointed. _ #vscocam #liveauthentic #explorebc #NDNcountry #underexposed (at Lynn Canyon Park)

It's always nice to get out of the city, especially when you're from LA and probably rarely see any rural area like this gentleman in the photo @tudor_williams_music. Even more so when you go out the city to enjoy native delicacies like neckbones, and bannock. #N8forLyfe ___________________________________________ #VSCOcam #vsco #VapeLife #yeg #yeggers

Her name is Shealyn McGale, and she's going to Europe today. @shealynmcgale try not to get kidnapped, because in Liam Neeson, I can't come save you. ______________________________________________ #VSCOcam #vsco #yvr #LittleBirdIsFinallyLeavingTheNest #THUNDAHAWK #girlswithpiercings #JustASmokeShow

This photo is called “Confusion” the diagonal war paint, and poorly worn breast plate are symbols of a loss of culture. The shear on the side of his face is to symbolize two plains of the human body, and spirt. Almost posing as a disconnect to our ancestors. It all boils down to two common denominators in my eyes, a loss of indigenous heritage, and our connection to our planet. The roots of aboriginal people run deep into this planet, and we have to search deep to find them, and start the positive rebuilding of our people, and nation as a whole.  

A talented Caitlin Helms reedited two of my photos. The out come is amazing. Thanks you!every go check out Tudor Williams sounds cloud. You won't be disappointed.
