The headdress was not something one could wear at will. Rather it was something that every warrior had to earn. Every feather in the headdress was a symbolic reflection of the deeds that the wearer engaged in. http://bit.ly/1awJv3E

‘Terrance Houle is an interdisciplinary media artist and member of the blood tribe. He has traveled across North America participating in Powwow dancing and his native ceremonies. he works in a variety of mediums; performance, photography, video/film, music and painting. He also uses tools of mass dissemination such as billboards and buses.’
‘Many of Houle’s performances, it’s an absurd spectacle—a painfully deliberate cliché, plied with a knowing wink. To say that Houle’s work is centered on persistent stereotypes of Aboriginal representation goes beyond the obvious. His Calgary apartment is littered with every manner of Indian kitsch, including a Hiawatha doll on the mantle and a collection of steamy, trashy Western romance novels. In his Urban Indian series of photographs (2004) with Jarusha Brown, to pick just one example, Houle meanders through a quotidian routine—breakfast at a diner, grocery shopping, mundane office-drone chores in a cubicle—wearing full grassdance powwow regalia, headdress and all.
With his gleeful send-ups of rote Aboriginal representation—however mild, or hilarious—Houle joins generations of First Nations contemporary artists for whom the simplistic Indian identities fashioned by post-colonialism are a favorite target.
While Houle sketches colonialism’s master narratives—cowboys and Indians, modernity, and everything in between—in broad, bombastic strokes, his art is always, almost painfully, about himself. At once fearless, charismatic, tender and intimate—and, we mustn’t forget, uproariously funny—Houle’s work centers not on the desecrated, unspecific, victimized Other, but on the artist’s flabby, beer-drinking, pizza-eating single-dad Self.’
“We were the Native family,” he says. “Our identity was constantly being pointed out to us. But my folks always used humour to cushion the blow. We were taught at an early age not to put the barrier up, but to try to teach people who we are. I think that’s why, at an early age, I started getting into art.”

Badass Ladies You Should Know
This week’s Badass Lady, boutique owner and former professor Dr. Jessica Metcalfe, lists six Native women everyone should know:
”Matika Wilbur – badass Native photographer who is photographing members of all Native tribes
Adrienne Keene – badass Native scholar who is the brains behind the popular blog, Native Appropriations
Bethany Yellowtail – badass Native fashion designer, who, by the age of 25, has her own label
Jamie Okuma – badass award-winning Native American beadwork artist and fashion designer
Winona LaDuke – a badass Native American activist
and Louise Erdrich – badass award-winning Native American author who is from my tribe.”
Jessica also asked the Beyond Buckskin Facebook page for suggestions — check out this amazing list of badass Native ladies, and be sure to read her interview about her career, its challenges, and staying inspired!
this is awesome
Demian Dine’ Yazhi’ Untitled (For Andrea Smith), 2012 Letterpress print on Stonehenge paper / white / 250 gsm The text was hand-set in Futura Condensed / 36 pt.
Such an important reminder of the historical and ongoing work of indigenous women. Colonization and patriarchy are not separate processes, they have worked in tandem to normalize gender hierarchy and gender-based violence.
A powerful truth. “Violence against the Earth begets violence against women. The colonial values of patriarchy and capitalism exploit the land and exploit our women” Melina Laboucan Massimo.
