In anticipation of her baby, a pregnant woman collects offerings in a sacred bundle.In anticipation of her baby, a pregnant woman collects offerings in a sacred bundle. A white feather… cedar and sage… A stone from the river… Each new gift in the bundle gives the baby strength and connects it to tradition, family and community. As they grow together, mother and child give each other gifts. Tasha Spillett-Sumner and Michaela Goade, two Indigenous creatives, create a lingering celebration of the bond between mother and child through the combination of beautiful words and radiant art.
