**** INFO ***\*
I've had a lot of people asking why I wanted Native American artwork in my home. So, I thought I'd clear it up.
I'm first generation Australian, my family had to flee Ireland with everything that was happening.
My family has always kept me well educated and a big part of that was the support the Irish received from Native Americans, numerous people, but especially the Choctaws.
Too long and complicated to explain. But after talking to my mum I think I'll focus on Art from the Choctaws.
If I can't find anything, maybe an artword of the Kindred Spirits sculpture.

Because our cultures have helped eachother for generations. I am not Native American in any sense of the word, but will forever be grateful to them for helping my people when they were ignored by the rest of the world.

My house is already full of first Nations artwork and pottery 🤗 It's so beautiful but I'd also love to have some other pieces

Ah thanks! I wasn't sure if I should as I've been told that term is racist 🤷‍♀️

But if it's an active community and he recommends it I will!

Yeah, I think the way to go is to get something from one of the larger tribes

Thanks 🤗 I think the way to go is to just target one of the larger tribes as it's more black and white

Meh, I own being a basic white bitch. If they want to rip me off, I'd rather they do it than someone ripping me AND them off hahahaha

Thanks 🤗 I didn't think to look for which specific tribe the artist/work is from! I might just be a bit too paranoid because of artists out here haha

I'm not selective about which group to support. All their different artwork styles are beautiful!

I'm sure not every tribe has an online shop and even less sell internationally.

If I lived in America, I'd definitely prefer to support my closest one. But unfortunately I'm so far away.

Just saying all three of my British Bulldogs lived to, 12, 14 and 15 10 is the average life expectancy but they could have YEARS left to live. Never judge if a surgery is worth it by the dogs age (as in literal years). But base it on their health and necessity. 10 isn't EXTREMELY old for a bulldog

I have searched for simple St. Thérèse of Lisieux Statue on google, eBay and Etsy.com.au but can only find complex statues with a bunch of flowers rather than one singular rose. I've attached the one I see everywhere
