About the owner

Boozhoo,

My name is Samantha Maki and I'm an enrolled member of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.

I put this page together because I wanted a way to blend my creative passions with something that is a healthy use of my time.

Miikawaadad is an Ojibwe word that translates as handsome or beautiful.

I grew up on my home reservation, and have spent my adult life bouncing on and off the rez, working for my tribe, and just trying to raise my boys to love and appreciate their indigenous roots in a complex world.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet.  Chi-miigwech to you my fellow aunties and uncles!
