These medicine bags were created by artist Cynthia Holmes, an enrolled member of the St. Croix Reservation. The medicine bag itself is 2"x2".
Artist Statement:
Energy is the medicine that supplies us. Love and Peace are what sustain us. Whether coral deep from the Mediterranean or turquoise from the earth’s belly, I negotiate these relatives into colorful arrangements. The tenuous but supple deer hide – has my back at every turn. My task is to bury the prayer within.
I am an Ojibway enrollee at St. Croix Reservation in Hertel, WI.
