Mornin'. Have some Nicholas Galanin to start your day. #Art
An outdoor art installation of the words "INDIAN LAND" in the same style of lettering as the famous Hollywood sign. But instead of being tucked in the Santa Monica mountains, this is in Palm Springs, in front of the San Jacinto mountains, on land that the Cahuilla (Iívil̃uqaletem) holds sacred.

A stylized painting of a view of Lake Superior from the shore at what appears to be early morning or very late in the evening. The shoreline is created by stripes of color layered like strata, beyond which we can see the blue of the lake and the pale purple of the sky.

A black and white photo of a young Native American woman, Eula Mae Narcomey Doonkeen (Seminole), at the American Indian Exposition Parade in Andarko, Oklahoma, in 1952. She is sitting in the back of a convertible car, facing towards the right-hand side of frame. Her hair is down and worn in loose waves, she has on lipstick and she is looking at something just slightly off to the right. She is dressed in regalia and has a feather in her hair. In the background, we can see other Native Americans walking around, dressed in modern (for the time) clothing. The sky above is mostly clear, with just a few wispy little clouds.

A photo of Pope Leo XIV, speaking into a microphone. The mic is still in the stand, and he has both hands on it, bringing it closer to his face. His eyes are closed (probably because he blinked), but all of this makes it look like he's singing. Behind him, there's a whole fuck-ton of people, including one cardinal.

A small woven basket with a lid that kind of makes it look like a chestnut when it it's still covered by the spiky outer layer.

Mornin'. Have some Fritz Scholder to start your day. #Art
A painting of a Plains Indian man, riding at horse at either dawn or dusk (hard to say when, but the sky is that strange dusty pink it gets when the sun is just setting or just rising). The man is wearing a war bonnet and appears to have a blanket wrapped around him. The horse appears to have a white blaze on the face and stockings on two of its legs (the front left and hind right). The man and the horse are in a grassy field, with no trees or anything to block the view of the horizon. The man appears to be looking at us, while the horse's face is pointing towards the right-hand side of frame.

A stylized screenprint of an eagle, done in the Haida style. The eagle image is a circle, rather similar to a tire or a donut.

Mornin'. Have some Pablita Velarde to start your day. #Art
A painting depicting the marriage of two Pueblo Indians. The couple are standing in the center of a room on a woven rug with a medicine man. The couple are dressed in traditional regalia and are holding a wedding vase as the medicine man appears to bless them with eagle feathers. The couple are surrounded by guests; some closer to the couple and sitting on benches, some further away and standing. A small group of women are standing off to the left, nearest the kitchen, watching the ceremony but not straying too far from what's cooking. Along the far wall, we can see a kachina doll, a shelf of pottery, a black and white photo of a relative and a rack full of woven blankets.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy:
A meme of the most recent adaptation of "Frankenstein", showing a very grumpy-looking Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. He appears to be in his pajamas and is sitting on a mossy bench in a very dilapidated room, and he looks very annoyed. The text of the meme reads as follows: oh sure blame the guy whose fault it is (eyeroll emoji)

Mornin'. Have some Allan Houser (Haozous) to start your day. #Art
A sculpture of Native American person (likely a man, but difficult to say), sitting on a rock, wrapped in a blanket. The person is hunched forward, holding onto a wooden stick that they appear to be using as a staff. They are wearing trousers and are wearing their hair in two braids. They are also wear a tall sun hat. Their head is tilted to the side, and they are smiling.

An abstract painting, consisting of many overlapping multicolored circles on a square canvas. The multicolored circles are made of many concentric circles, each one a different color. The multicolored circles are layered on top of one another, creating what looks like a stack as seen from above.

A single red maple leaf. It is backlit by the sun, so we can see the midrib and venation of the leaf clearly.

A pair of beaded moccasins. The design on the moccasins are of a tipi at night, where the sky is clear and the stars and a full moon shine down on everything. Off to the side of the tipi are what appears to be a pair of bear claws, reaching up towards the night sky.

It's #Caturday, so here's Marceline, vying for attention.
A long-haired green-eyed white tabby, lying on her back on a gray lounger and looking towards the camera. Her front paws are drawn up in an unthreatening manner and her fluffy belly is exposed.

A stylized painting of Plains Native Americans (possibly Apsáalooke) riding horses through a snow flurry at night. The tribe is seen on their horses along the bottom of the canvas, walking from the right side of frame towards the left along a river. Behind them, snowy mountains can be seen. All around them, snow is swirling. The majority of the painting, however, is devoted to the sky, which is mostly cloudy (because snow), but there's spots where the night sky is visible, including the crescent moon.

Marceline approves of her new perch.
A long-haired white tabby, sitting on the tallest part of her kitty tree and looking out the window. Her fluffy tail is twitching as she looks at something intently (probably a bird or a chipmunk).

A mixed media work, consisting of a wooden box with a small Statue of Liberty figurine affixed to the lid. The lid has been removed, and within the box are plastic figurines depicting stereotypical Native Americans (war bonnets, buckskins and loin cloths, etc.) haphazardly buried in sand. On the side of the box are the following words: GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR POOR

Mornin'. Have some T.C. Cannon/Pai-doung-a-day to start your day. #Art
A painting of a Pueblo Native American woman, walking while carrying a large green squash in her arm and a clay pot on her head simultaneously. She is in profile and walking towards the left side of frame. Her eyes are somewhat obscured by the long bangs she has, but her mouth and jaw appear to be firm. She is wearing a traditional manta dress, but with a white blouse underneath it and an apron tied around her waist. The shawl she wears draped over her head and the band of fabric cinching the waist of her dress are woven and feature brightly-colored Pueblo patterns. The clay jar she is carrying on her head is black and white. In the background, we can see a few small clouds in the blue sky above, and we can see a pueblo building in the bottom left-hand corner.

It's beginning to look a lot like winter.
A view of the backyard, currently under a fine layer of snow. Some of the trees still have leaves on them, and there is a smattering of orange leaves strewn on top of the snow, kind of like sprinkles on a cupcake.

Mornin'. Have some Sheroanawë Hakihiiwë to start your day. #Art
A Yanomami design on handmade paper on a white background. The paper is lying vertically on the white background, and is the shape of a thin rectangle (think business envelope). The design takes up the entire sheet of paper, and consists of thin, orangey-red chevron-like lines and a thin line of small blue dots running down the center of the paper.

Wild to think things looked like this about two weeks ago.
A forest path in autumn. The path is lined with trees, the leaves of which are all yellow. In the warm, mid-day sun, they look gold. The path is thickly carpeted with fallen leaves.
