content: Mobile phone/cellphone case made from maple wood that is cut and high resolution printed with multiple layers of protective coating. It includes a matte black plastic bumper. Originally drawn on the ledger paper used across much of John Pepion's work, design depicts a person wearing a Blackfoot "straight up" style feather headdress and smoking a pipe. Artist statement: "In today's society, Native People everywhere are finding ways to continue to speak their traditional languages and practice the ceremonies of their people. Combining a traditional Piikani figure with this sleek phone case, this design honors the traditional way of life, while celebrating the multidimensional experiences of Native People today. It's a reminder that you can honor where you come from and chase your brightest dreams for the future all at the same time." (https://johnisaiahpepion.com/products/pipe-case-test).
