@Tzipporah has a new About Tzipporah page on #Cvkvlv, check it out!

The Mvskoke language is endangered, but it is not yet extinct, and we can still save it. So I also use Mvskoke names for most of my pieces, in the hope that people learn with me. Native culture is still reeling from the generational trauma of losing the land, the language, the Cvkvlv, and everything else that was stolen from us...

There's a reason why @Tzipporah chose the #Cvkvlv #Woodpecker for @CvkvlvBeadwork - Woodpeckers are very powerful #GoodMedicine !!!

Shame what #Colonization has done to #Woodpeckers in the ancestral homelands 😭 we tried to let everyone know...

It's a fact, Native/Indigenous culture isn't as uptight about swearing and sex as the dominant culture. Still, I was proud @Tzipporah only said fuck one time in this great video.

You might be wondering:

What is a Cvkvlv and how do you pronounce it?

Cvkvlv is the Mvskoke word for the ivory-billed woodpecker, an important medicine bird in our traditions. Cvkvlv is pronounced CHUH kuh luh, kind of like chocolate.
