Darren Thompson (Ojibwe/Tohono O’odham) is a Native American flute player and writer from the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Reservation in Northern Wisconsin.
She started beading and sewing when she was seven years old.
It is said that Grandmother Moon watches over the waters of the Earth. “Women are supposed to support one another, and this was something I heard my grandmother say repeatedly.”, “Creating for others is all about giving people a sense of self-identity,” Lavender explains. Grandmother Spider by Christi Belcourt – Woodland Art presented by DaVic Gallery of Native Canadian Arts. The Moon is called Grandmother, and the Sun is called Grandfather. Several years ago she launched I Am Anishinaabe, a business featuring her vision to expand Anishinaabe patterns and clothing with her daughters to share with the wider world. The way I knew it was by the name Memegwesiwijiw, which translates to “mountain of the little people.”.
In Anishinaabe religion prophecies were given before contact with light skinned people. After influencing her daughters to bead, sew and create other materials, their work developed to represent each artist. But they are dedicated to finding ways to grow and share their culture.
She always used to ask her Grandmother if she could go see Memegwesiwijiw, but she was never allowed to, because these little people are tricksters, and they’ll try to tease you every chance they get. Well, I grew up with my Grandmother telling my brother and I stories about different areas around home and the legends that live there. The book follows the story of Grandmother Josephine and her love for Nibi (Anishinaabemowin: "water"); it follows her walking journey with colourful illustrations and pronunciation guides for Anishinaabemowin words. [6], The water walk movement began in 2003 after grandmother Josephine Mandamin became concerned over the pollution happening to the lakes and rivers across Turtle Island.

When seeking inspirations in creating, she looks to her family, to whom she’s creating for, and even to Mother Nature. Growing up as an Anishinaabe from Nipigon, Northern Ontario, I have come to know this area in a much different light. Each time I hear her tell this story, I always get so amazed that something like this happened right here, in a place I get to call home. All I know is that all life, even the rocks, need to be treated with respect.

Though her creations are heirloom pieces, Lavender says she strives to teach the next generation of girls to create starting with making jewelry to sewing ribbon skirts.

Having her family involved makes the journey more rewarding than she could have ever imagined, but the future has high aims. “When I create something, my mother taught me to always have a good mood,” Snowy says.
We see this in her regulating of the tides. She was taught by her grandmother Maggie King. How our people developed individual styles depending on what was available to them is inspiring to me.
Knowing the story of why our people used copper, wampum, bells, coins, and mirrors are why I choose to incorporate those items into my pieces as well.”.
[9] The work continues through a group called Nibi Emosaawdamajig (Those Who Walk for the Water), lead by Shirley Williams and her niece Elizabeth Osawamick. Each item has a story, a history, and a purpose.

As long as she can remember she has had an outlet whether that be through journaling, beading, sewing or drawing and recalls her first creations being beads strung together to make earrings. When I asked her about what kind of tricks they play, she said they love to do things like tip your water over if you leave it out on the ground open and unattended.
