Kikacec Mc Ewan Artist

Kikacec Mc Ewan Artist I was born and raised in the Nuu-chaa-nulth area on Vancouver Island, our Nation of Ahousaht BC. I am one of 7 children.

Art, no matter what form, always brings me back to my roots, to mentors who contributed to what I now know. I am a First Nations artist from the West Coast of Ahousaht B.C. Our family clan chrest is of the "Kaa-kaa-wiin," what folks recognize as the Orca. I was born and raised in our community by my grandparents and extended family; learning of our valuable and sacred cultural teachings. Teachings

of survival, living off the land, sea and air, through hunting, trapping and fishing. I was sent away as a teen after attending Indian Day School, and was moved to boarding homes and Residential School. Those years away from my family changed the course of my life. I found a way to carry my identity within my being, and that was through Native art and contemporary Art. I had moments where I put it aside and the visions and Creativity would come back and not realizing; it was my healing journey, it was and is my purpose to share with others, through this "Decolonization" process. Now that I have taken a positive approach to the Arts and Crafts that I do, I have added more to it, such as adapting to other indigenous practices, like using medicines, cleansing, harvesting, learning songs and dance. All this has brought me abundance of of inner peace and balance. I am more then happy to share and so blessed for the networking organizations that are creating a strong bridge to move forward on Indigenous teachings. Kleco kleco,
All my relations,

It's been a few difficult months; grieving loved ones and just trying to stay afloat isn't always easy, emotionally and spiritually.

Yesterday I focused on Art, a memorial portrait of my mit, cousin John Paul, that I am doing for his son. Similar way I handle my grieving when my mother passed away. Indigenous Art therapy is my tool, I listen to our cultural music, I sit outside when the sun feels good, or even during quiet moments I settle into that like a baby being cradled to sleep.

The brother we lost, he was the oldest, and they say that the oldest ones go through all the first of good and bad life experiences. Well he definitely did, and I felt that pain as he departed, and thought, "Your free now bro, your free to be that young innocent boy you have always wanted to be." I say that because he was stripped of his childhood in Residential school, and all it took from him.

Aawe my heart, my tiichmaa, I will miss my brother, I will miss my sister in law Marlene, mys Sis Bonnie, and Auntie Betty.

I will follow my tiichmaa, and find peace and comfort in our Native art. My message, take care of yourselves, and if art as been your tool, and if you have put it aside because of a rough windy road your on, pick it up again, and start your healing.

Sending out much Love and Light.

XOXO, Dabb Beverly

Sharing why harvested plants are good for the human body, especially when it's made through simple teas. Teas that help inflammation, respiratory issues, wound care, etc.

Today I shared about Labrador, Cedar, and Mullan leaves, as well as the benefits of Devils Club.

Drum painting today, and sharing of how drums can be used for drum therapy: when two women drummers stand on the right and the left of an individual who seeks balance in mind, body, and spirit. Drumming is performed with grace and tranquility, some will ask for prayer song or just a prayer in general.

Drumming can be meditating, try it bare foot, remove your jacket, jewellery, watch, and your shoes, embrace the vibrations and frequency of the drumming. You'll love it.

Chuu.
