This is a picture of a relative who was a Michigan Chippewa Indian from the Reservation in Mt. Pleasant, MI, taken in the 1800’s. It is true that Native Americans harbored runaway slaves, but the lady pictured at the right was already in Michigan before the slaves migrated as free people. I don’t think it matters whether Native Americans are Washitaw or Lumbee from North Carolina or Chippewa from Michigan. All tribes have Black Roots. The phenotypes of Native Americans point to the theories held by Diop and Van Sertima. What this amounts too are further discrepancies in what is written in our history books. Even though the evidence is right here and pushed in a person’s face, there are those who still believe the “Old Guard.”

Hailing from the west African nation of Nigeria, Peju Alatise is a mixed media artist and writer whose talents cover various fields ranging from jewelry design and painting, to architecture and furniture design. Most of her art features women as the main subjects, often in seemingly delicate and vulnerable positions, but Alatise brings them to life by making use of a mixture of vibrant colours and unique artistic techniques.
About her art, Alatise has this to say,
“As an artist, I have learned to become a medium for a viewer to observe through to attain a different perspective. Just as a pair of spectacles would either alter or enhance the wearer’s vision, I lend myself to an onlooker to see a subject matter through my own eyes to observe differently.”
