Reportedly, "Killers of the Flower Moon" directed by Martin Scorsese with #Blackfeet #NezPerce actress Lily Gladstone and actor Leonard DiCaprio will get such a cinema release. A theatrical release is believed to have been a condition of Apple getting the streaming rights.

"The group also had a history-changing discovery. It found projectile points, or early versions of weapons, that are more than 2,000 years older than previous ones found in the Americas. The spearpoints found at Cooper’s Ferry date back about 16,000 years."

"He said this is in the area that the #NezPerce #NativeAmericans lived."

The article gives more compelling evidence that the coastal route ("kelp highway") more so than the ice-free corridor was the likely route for the initial peopling of the North America. The title is a bit misleading implying that the Nez Perce were the first. #archaeology #iceage #nezperce #Idaho https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/12/27/2143592/-Spear-tips-found-at-Nez-Perce-village-site-are-the-oldest-known-stone-tools-in-the-Americas

Another one done. A couple years ago, I made a wáwya bag and was inspired to make a necklace. The #wáwya is the symbol for counting coup and it’s surrounded by the #MedicineWheel. A simple design but I love that blue.

I've been told we need an #introduction. I'm aspie so this is a bit ... overwhelming to think about. My profile bio works as a solid basis in this regard (and I've had years to work on it) so...

I'm Nimi'ipuu (#NezPerce) Wallowa Band, #ActuallyAutistic, anthropologist, material culture researcher, anticolonial AF, bead artist, ribbon skirt maker and basket weaver. My pronouns are she/her.

My interpretation of the Three Sisters. Predominantly a Seneca Nation and east coast concept and traditional planting methodology, the Three Sisters are squash, corn and climbing beans. The symbolise both an intercropping technique and community relational constructs.

The idea for this was gifted to me JP Prettybull, a Ponca and Yankton Sioux anthropology PhD student. I made it my own by using a cucurbita gourd - in honour of my favourite bead stitch and my late mentor who taught it to me - as well as a stylised heirloom corn and the climbing beans my mom had in her garden when I was I a kid.
