An old warrior watches an early snow dust the land where his children once played, where young men hunted and a woman's gentle laughter danced in the fire with the soup. He remembers many bullets and has taken many lives in his living years. But he is old now. He remembers the spirit helpers that gave his life and anger such purpose and power. He acknowledges them and tucks a bit of the land into the folds of his blanket. *Artists notation: zooming up to the crook of Geronimo's folded arm, you can see tucked safely away in the folds of his blanket, are the memories of the places he's loved the most.
Art story: The setting sun could not still the falling snow. The night came on like a lover’s embrace, unyielding and silent, always silent.
Art story: She was a warrior child, always fast with sharp, intelligent words of fire. Her sister was born to the peace and eroding power of Nibi, the water. When the Deep Earth Mountains explode and when the great rivers erase the ground, the sisters are fighting. The Firewater sisters are known to bring great confusion to the children of the Earth whenever they fight.
Art story: The ancient stones of the Great Northern Shield have seen endless freezing and countless thaws. The stones keep the stories of travellers and bear the scars of an ever-moving wind. The trickle of ancestral waters carries the echoes of ancient incantations. They hold the secrets of birthed babies, bone rattles and ceremonial markings made by nomads who have given their lives and bodies to the land. Bones and stones, water and life become one with the land, just as we all must become one with the land.
