A few months ago one of the most powerful women and organizers I know, MorningStar Gali, told me that the International Indian Treaty Council would be hosting a symposium for Indigenous women working on reproductive and environmental justice issues and community members concerned with and interested in learning more about each other’s strategy and implementation. As part of the Symposium, there will be a community event where Symposium participants will present their work in an effort to connect with one another through dialogue, performance and artistic expression.
I was commissioned to create a poster to promote the symposium and was very happy to use a portrait of a young girl and her grandmother to symbolize our sacred relationship as daughters of Mother Earth.
