Mishmountain original in the Vatican Art Collection in Rome.
Mishibinijima private audience with Pope John Paul II
STATEMENT: From start to finish everyday between, ceremonial smudge performed to each Mishmountain original since 1969. Art contains images of spiritual protection because my mother taught, these pieces find their way to other family homes and need protection from negative energies to whomever owns it.
