New submission coming to us from my neighbor, a fellow Torontonian activist, Sister Aima Niqabae! She prepared this beautiful poster as a sign of her support, and here is the message she would like to send to the world:

"My name is Aima. I believe that as another citizen and human that it's my duty to stand with the oppressed until they get justice. Being also a member of a marginalized group I know how it feels when the people you welcome and trust on your land disrespect and terrorize it not only for the present but for future generations as well. This responsibility is part of my faith, as two-legged being I have to be the voice for the beings with no voice. I was born to tread gently on this earth because one day I will return to it. Being active at uni and using social media we ( fellow classmates) rallied with the First Nations in solidarity with Standing Rock!! #NODAPL"

This is going to be the Official Display Picture for the Project for now. Well my name is Eleesheva, and I am 25 years of age. Being a good role model, I will keep this as short as possible! Simply put, I resonate with the Indigenous way of life! Since I was small and until now, I wanted nothing more than to live in a similar fashion to that of the Natives of the World. I am orginnaly from Russia, and my mother was born at Lake Baikal. The deepest Lake in the world, but also home to many Indigenous Tribes! No one can say for sure, but there has been rumors that my maternal grandfather had some Native Asian blood of the region! Either way, we were brought up to respect and learn from our Native Brothers. And for generations, the women from my family were given the title of Medicine Women. Since I was small I've had unconditional love towards Nature and all it had to offer! I realized ALL IS ONE, at a very young age... and hence, the spiritual teachings of the Natives, also resonated with me! But with that aside, I would like to be known as an Activist. I am a self taught artist, and would like to raise awareness through all forms of art/creative expression! I am Happy to introduce this Project, and I hope it grows into something BIG! Always in the state of Prayer, for the Natives, and the WORLD

BLESSINGS AND PEACE< BROTHERS AND SISTERS

This is the Official Launch of the Standing Rock Visualization Project!

Let us make this very plain and obvious. All submissions are welcome, HOWEVER, we will filter out what we deem inappropriate!

For this reason, if you want to send in a commission you must provide us with the image, and the following information, via Private Message!

Please state your name, as well as age, and your relation to either the Natives and/or the Global Protest against the Captains of the Industries. You may tell us a little about yourself, but please keep it short and relative!

All are welcome, this means the Children included! And, you do not need to be a professional, as this is a show of Team Spirit, not an Art Competition!

Just remember, to stay within the required Subject! Although we do welcome all types of Activists from around the Globe, we would like to keep the Art Project aspect centered around the Indigenous Struggle!

Did you know that the Natives make up only 4% of the world population? Yet, they alone, protect 80% of all the Land?

The story of the Gathering at Standing Rock will be passed on for generations to come, so lets make this something worth remembering!

And we all heard the age-old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words!"

We would like to take advantage of the modern luxuries, such as Social Media and Digital File Sharing, to raise Awareness through Art, with the use of Political Propaganda. By the people and for the people!

If they aren't covering this in the Media, WE MAKE OUR OWN MEDIA!

From Google: Visualization is any technique for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity.

From Wiki: White propaganda is propaganda which truthfully states its origin.[1][2] It is the most common type of propaganda. It generally comes from an openly identified source, and is characterized by gentler methods of persuasion than black propaganda (which purports to come from the opposite side to that which actually produced it) and grey propaganda (which has no identifiable source or author). It typically uses standard public relations techniques and one-sided presentation of an argument, but in some languages the word "propaganda" does not have a negative connotation. A more accurate translation of the word "propaganda" from Russian, for example, would be "promotion" of an opinion or argument.

(As the Russian Representative on the Team, I back that up a 100%)

With that said... get creative, get political, and get ACTIVE... even if you can't be there... even if you have been there... even if you are there right now... but still want to do more...

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

We welcome absolutely all variation of visualization, HOWEVER, the IDEA is to publish a BOOK with SELECTED artwork which will forever commemorate what is happening right now!

Again, we will pick what we deem the most appropriate. As well as, we will try our best to represent the Native and the non Native artists equally!

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN! SPREAD THE WORD TO THE WORLD!
