THANKSGIVING & INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RECOGNITION DAY
Today we—as a business based by and for People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture—are observing the tradition that most people—until recently—have come to celebrate as an American holiday; Thanksgiving, and the day that it should be as Indigenous Peoples Day.
Today we honor the lives that have been slain and lost due to the development and progression of the European exploratory, commercial and capitalist drive to develop this new nation. Thru Art, Design and Photographic-like visiualizations of those lost to history, we take a moment to show our respect to those lost and deprived. Those who lost their land for the sake of who and what we are today.
As matter of honor and respect for the Indigenous and Native American Peoples and others, we will not be using or designing any icon or iconic imagery as we may not be able to fully present them in the context and form that they ought to be. We believe in the right and capacity to use Art, Design and Photography as a means to creating, describing and defining the world and so for us, we’re choosing to establish within our office, studio and other proprietary spaces this day (Thanksgiving Day) to be acknowledged and recognized as Indigenous Peoples Recognition Day for without them, there would be no conception of what Thanksgiving is and what it should be all about.
