[Image Description: a drawing of an Inuit indigenous male, drawn from the waist to above his head, with spiritual hands touching his back area. This man has light brown skin, thick and dark past-ear length hair, and proudly wears a traditional Inuit tattoo just to the right beside his right eye along with a traditional fur coat. The coat is brown fur, lined with white fur on the hood, arm cuffs, and the waist. He is looking slightly towards the left but facing forward, leaving most of the body and face seen. Behind him is an aura of creme and bright yellowish-white, with different shades of brown hands which is interpreted as ancestors or past generations. Each hand has it’s own bright almost-white aura around it, showing the different between the spirits and the man as human. The man’s eye’s are closed but not in a forceful way, more of a comforting way. He seems to feel comfort in these hands touching his shoulders and back, almost as if he can feel his ancestors support.

Writing below the image in a white, bold font state: “You are who your ancestors sang about in their ceremonies. You are their revolutionary prayer. You are the sacred gift to the world.” Additionally white, bold vertical writing on the left side of the page reads “ ”. In the bottom-right corner of the page you will also find “Ani” written in thin black writing along with the syllabics saying the words directly under it. ]

As we welcome the Winter Solstice, with a colder day and darker night, we hold fast to the warmth of community and the return of the sun, illuminating a moment to recognize all that we’ve learned, moved through and worked towards in the past year.

We take a moment to honor the natural rhythms of life, apart from the hustle and bustle of man-made stresses and technology. We remember we are all connected, and are just one small yet necessary part of the whole.

In the stillness of this season, we hope you can take a moment to rest and revel in the power and purpose of our movements, keeping a keen eye on a future that continues to uplift Indigenous brilliance, power and regeneration.

We send our prayers to you and your loved ones as you ease into the end of 2022 and step into the new year.

Happy , Relatives.
