Indigenous Language Shirt

Price range: $20.00 through $25.00

ILS

Our Indigenous language shirt uses a bison and has 116 different indigenous translations for “Every Child Matters”. The indigenous languages were curated to the best of our ability. We hope to receive additional translations that we would love to add to future reprints.

The bison has a significant meaning to indigenous cultures. It is life, culture, and spirit. It was a source of food with the meat providing a primary source of nutrition, hides were tanned to make warm robes, winter coats, moccasins, and coverings for tipis. Bones and and horns were shaped into needles, tools, game dice, combs, cups and weapon points.

About the Artist

Jil-Leesa GW is a graphic design artist based out of Sarnia, Ontario. A member of Aamjiwnaang First Nations located along the banks of the St Clair River and proudly counts herself among the Deer Clan.

From an early age, she discovered that creative outlets form a link between the artist and the viewer that couldn’t be expressed through words. This fueled her and became part of her inspiration. Through her works, she seeks to convey inner strength, the beauty of the natural world, and the subtle but powerful importance of connection in our daily lives. She hopes that her work will bring joy, foster community in those around her, and that in doing so, bring herself and others to new heights of self-expression.

Her artistic career has been rife with difficulty, which she has sought to persevere and grow from. As a self-taught artist, she has spent much of her free time researching different mediums and finding her niche in the art community. Aside from traditional paper and pencil, her preferred medium is digital art, and she utilizes a range of programs to harness inspiration and bring the soul of the art to life. Counted among her achievements is the Orange Shirt Day design ‘Unity‘ featured within TD Bank’s archives for the year 21’

When not making digital art, Jil-Leesa’s hobbies include taking long walks with her dog, beading earrings, drinking coffee, spending quality time with friends and family, and enjoying whatever day the world sees fit to throw at her.
