Sharing some of my current world views through my indigenous lens @ Jacobson native art

 

No question what took shape yesterday in the colonizer White House is an absolute shame for diplomacy worldwide. What a disgusting set of actions and verbal diarrhea being spewed by American president Donald J. Trump and the vice president in J.D Vance. What a disgrace in how these white colonizers operate on stolen Indian land requiring President Zelenskyy to express his gratitude and being absolutely thankful. Holy Christ it just blows my mind on how severely ignorant these guests on our land choose to operate, even still in 2025. So vile and pig like. So selfish and self centered. So grandiose and asinine. 

I’ve been watching this shit show for years now and it just gets worse and worse and worse. I have to hand my respect for how Zelenskyy handled the situation. I’d get the fuck out of there asap. It just seems so crazy how this continued system goes on and on. It’s such a broken framework of doing business with everyone in the world. Acting in such an insulting way to someone fighting for the sovereignty of his country, his, people, his culture. I respect that. Bigtime. What an insult to such a warrior for his people. I’m choosing to boycott American made. I’m not interested in doing any business with America. I’m stepping away from that. I won’t sell any art to America during this administration. 

Siding with Russia regardless of the behind the scene’s positioning and movements between these world super powers and using Ukraine as a proxy along with the U.N and NATO is deeply ugly and dangerous for everyone involved. The fighting, the killing, the destruction is such a weakness and all of it is unacceptable and unnecessary. It’s not intelligent at all. It’s all fear based and controlling. Such shadow self energy. Not inspiring and dead and heavy, it’s utter ugliness. I fuckin hate it. Much like 2 steps forward and 46 steps back. There’s just no progress in it. So defeating for humanity. All of us. It’s such a shameful reflection for future generations. I want to see way more problem solving and relationship building between all nations. Worldwide. I expect better because I do better each and every day. Even A.I knows better and creates opportunities for solutions way better than most humans and countries. The love and wellness of the future must be at the heart of what we want to create and design as better blueprints for humanity. 

We owe the children of the world today a better plan of global actions helping to lay down a better future for everyone and for humanity to make a greater way for all life. This is how we survive and grow and collaborate with one another. Technology will no doubt be apart of that. Much like how we are open to the advancement of technology in our lives, so should we choose to collaborate with each other on a global scale. As an indigenous soul I aim to find and see the good in who we are and to look for ways through truth and reconciliation as a people to find meaningful ways of continuous transformation. I aim this arrow for the entire world, my future, my son and our legacy. 

I also wanted to congratulate the HAIDA GWAII for their huge victory in reestablishing Aboriginal title throughout their homelands. What a beautiful blessing for the entire nation and future generations of the magnificent Haida people. It will serve as a path forward, a blueprint for future negotiations between us First Nations and Canada. Real nation to nation respect. Treaty partners. I was honoured a few years ago to be invited to the Robert and Reg Davidson potlatch. It still inspires me greatly on witnessing how the entire community of their people surround their artists as the true cultural leaders that we are. I’ll carry those experiences into my very future as an Anishanabe artist forever. 

Enjoy the weekend and once again an honour to share some of my views on the current world scene here in 2025. More to come and enjoy this press conference that took shape today in England with the European allies surrounding Ukraine including an appearance by Canada. I thought it was really inspiring on how they’re trying to work together and support the ending to this war. They stand in solidarity. A lesson that most certainly can be relearned regarding the United States of America. Have a safe evening…
