Freedom + Peace Hoodie

“God willing and the Creek don’t rise..” is a US southern saying I never understood despite the literal explanation. I’m soo honored & proud to re-educate my community and stand in solidarity for my indigenous fam. I now know it wasn’t the a body of water but the Cree tribe the colonizers were worried bc of… “Mistahimaskwa refused to sign the treaty. He compared it to a “rope around our necks”; likely referencing the fact that the treaty would “strangle” their freedom and limit their control over indigenous land, resources and way of life. Mistahimaskwa’s defiance attracted independent warriors to his band, and from 1878-79, his influence among the Cree rose.” Aho! May Great Spirit unleash is all from the tyranny of disagreeable energies towards freedom & peace! Together we rise with love & respect for our elders who paved the way…

I’m looking to support an indigenous business and support reconciliation via advocacy in what I wear
