This card is titled "Love for Everyone". Elizabeth believes that love does not discriminate, it is a universal emotion. Feathers give the holder the ability to speak honestly from the heart. They are given to show respect, friendship, display courage and wisdom. Feathers are an important part of the ceremonies, such as smudging. In Cree tradition, the rainbow is a symbol of forgiveness.

 

Elizabeth has used Cree syllabics to describe each image. The syllabics were invented by missionaries in Canada (1830-1860) to create a written form of Cree and Ojibway. The primary purpose was to teach Christianity to Indigenous People. Elizabeth is a member of the Mistawasis Nehiyawak in Saskatchewan. Her work is inspired by the artistic traditions and storytelling of the Plains Cree.
