Two events happen in June that are historical.
Pride, sadly, does get the more 'screen' time.
But it is also Indigenous History Month. So, gonna share this that came across my FB feed.
It's Indigenous History Month. Time to learn.
Dreamcatchers are a big part of Indigenous cultures. Understanding why non-Indigenous people shouldn't profit off of it is an important step in honouring Indigenous history and heritage.
When non-Indigenous people make and sell dreamcatchers, it exemplifies the dismissiveness of the deeper understanding of Indigenous culture and the borrowing of Indigenous spirituality to make a profit for settlers.
The act of creating a dreamcatcher is sacred and an important traditional facet for the Ojibwe. If you'd like to purchase a dreamcatcher, show respect and understanding by supporting an Indigenous business.

Reminds me I need to finish my art piece in honor of this month.
