Kakwitene v.1.5

Kakwitene 1.5 

* 4/1/2019 :  added colored spheres - walk through them to hear how to pronounce the Kanien’kéha  colors.

I included Kanien’kéha language in this digital art piece, can you find it?  The background audio loop is a recording I made in our forest in Akwesasne Indian Reservation #59 (Kawehnoke, Akwesasne, Cornwall Island Ontario) in the late spring time when we have many visiting birds. The birds songs are loud & beautiful during the warmer seasons.

Kakwitene is inspired by many Mohawk Woodland Raised Beadwork pieces, Christi Belcourt, Jessica Gokey, Paige Dansinger, my birth mother’s raised beadwork and the raised beadwork I made for myself throughout the years -- they are all inspired by what I see during my hikes in the forests in our Onkwehonwe homelands in the Americus Empire.

Lots of color in this one while I remember spring time, gardening and the many flowers that are always happy to show their faces when it is their turn.

This is a work in progress while I add various Kanien’kéha audio files for the flower colors.
