An all Indigenous Led Artists Collective based in Boulder, Colorado

  • Major institutions can find ways to institute #Landback initiatives in tangible ways to support Native communities. Creative Nations was born out of that idea and we will demand that level of commitment from allies.

  • Native stories need to be told and they must come from the mouths of those who lived them

  • We can create a better future for Native artists, young and old. That is a responsibility that drives everything we do

The Lakhota people have many names for the months of the year. The names of the moons are drawn from the resources available to them or are descriptions of natural events. This series of watercolors interprets the meaning of each moon, short narratives of the moon, and the moon's enduring love for the sun and world.
