Yes, he did this all himself. Also, before this project (during the pandemic lockdown) he taught himself how to code, starting designing video games, and learned video editing as well. Incredible!!

Thank you for sharing! We are SO PROUD of him!! He was actually in a distance learning program here in Oregon called Clackamas Web Academy for High School. Since he was doing school from home he had time to work on his own, self-directed extracurricular projects. It was amazing to witness!!

The beautiful wool weaving is by Diné (Navajo) textile artist Venancio Aragon called "TRANSform Hate." Their mother Irveta Aragon is in the photo by Corrine Cain, Savvy Collector.Here is the article about it:

Politically Charged Navajo Weaving ! – Savvy Collector Blog

Venancio Aragon’s wool weaving, TRANSform Hate is accompanied by an articulate explanation for its colors and design. Clearly he unapologetically wove this textile to carry a message.

Made this video about the powwow I went to.
Just some thoughts on what powwows mean to me and a lot of us. The community. The sharing of culture. The joy.
It’s all resistance and it’s all beautiful.
Would appreciate you give it a watch. Ahéhee.

Celebration of culture is important and an act of resistance. Indigenous joy is powerful and keeps us going in the hard times. We are still here and we are still strong.
