Colouring it Forward - Discover Blackfoot Nation Art and Wisdom: An Aboriginal Colouring Book Paperback

Colouring It Forward -- Discover Blackfoot Nation Art and Wisdom is more than just a coloring book. It contains authentic Native American artwork from Blackfoot artists and teachings from the Blackfoot culture by a Blackfoot elder. It is the first in a series of Indigenus coloring books which will each be focused on a different First Nation and its art and teachings. For this first book in the series, I’ve had the privilege of working with Blackfoot Elder Camille Pablo Russell to gather traditional wisdom and with the incredibly talented Blackfoot artists Kalum Teke Dan and Ryan Jason Allen Willert, all of whom have been very generous and giving of their time.Inside this colouring book, you will find the Elder’s teachings and the stunning images created by Kalum and Ryan, which have been recreated for you to add your own artistic touch. With each image is a place for you to journal as you colour. I would thrilled If you would like to share your art, your stories or ideas for new books or projects on my Facebook and Instagram pages.To honour the gifts I have received through this project, a portion of the proceeds of sales will go to the contributing artists and to any elders sharing their wisdom. A further portion of the proceeds will be invested in projects for First Nations people. These projects need to create opportunities for employment, improve small businesses or lead to higher education. Please contact me on Facebook if you have an idea for new projects or a proposal for funding.
