A vertical landscape. A tiny white dot in the center - the lighthouse - is surrounded by vast mountains, some snow-capped. That tableau is reflected in the rippling turquoise waters of Kootenay Lake.

#PrintPromptMonday #inmotion #WIP shots of a new #woodcut based on one of my mother's childhood stories of growing up in Taiwan, in which she ascended into the mountainside under the watchful eyes of wild cats. I carried this woodcut into the mountains on #Ktunaxa land to carve out this story.

The imagery features two rabbits and two cats in a circular chase. They are surrounded by daylilies, tiger lilies, mulberries, clover, and other native plants that grew near Jenie's childhood home in the Midwest US.

Coast #Salish #FreedomFighters: From Alberta #TarSands to the #SalishSea

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews Nov. 7, 2024

SEATTLE -- "The dead birds floating in the #AlbertATarSands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased #OilTankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil of the #TransMountainPipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands, bound for oil tankers in the Salish Sea.

"'We are not just #activists, we are #revolutionaries and we're radical and militant and we want to keep it that way, we don't want to get soft in our older years,' said #KanahusManuel, #Secwepemc and #Ktunaxa, describing her family's struggle to protect their land and stop the Trans Mountain pipeline.

"Speaking at the State of Emergency for The Salish Sea in #SeattleWashington on Thursday, Kanahus said, 'We are the title holders to the land.'"
