Copper Canoe Woman Spirit Flow Earrings Maroon
HANDCRAFTED EARRINGS BY NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN
CCW OPERATES ON LUMMI RESERVATION
"These Spirit Flow Earrings are inspired by the profound significance of copper in my culture and heritage. As a copper carrier for my family and house, I feel deeply connected to the stories and symbols that copper represents. Copper isn’t just a material; it embodies strength, protection, and our connection to the supernatural world. In our traditions, copper shields were symbols of prestige and wealth, with some stories telling of beings like ɫáɫa (Sasquatch) gifting us the copper shield." - Copper Canoe Woman
This design reflects that legacy, featuring a flowing combination of circles and S-shapes. These shapes echo the energy and movement of water, as well as the enduring qualities of copper that we hold so dear. The shape of the shield and the fluid curves bring together elements of resilience and elegance, grounded in both the past and the present.

"Through art I’ve become connected to my roots in ways I never imagined. This journey has been an unraveling, a reclamation of Indigenous womanhood and of creation. I am grateful for my identity, my culture, that I carry in this physical realm, and I am grateful for you. Without your support it would be so much harder to be vulnerable and share parts of my soul I’d otherwise keep hidden. I am grateful to be my true self with you. All work comes from kind intentions and hopefully my most authentic self.I hope you are good, I hope you are taken care of, sending you light and love. Tkleco, Tkleco." - Vina Brown
