Story of Aakii

Aakii (ah-gee) is the Blackfeet translation meaning woman. Aakii honors my grandmother who was given the birth name, Pretty Bird Woman, and who embodies the values of our Blackfeet (Amsskaapi Piikuni) people.
We all have a Pretty Bird Woman in our life, and they hold a special place in our hearts. We must remember to treasure them because they are the Northern Star to our life and the guidance when we run astray. They are the foundation to our values, reminding us of who we are and who we want to be.
They are warriors in our lives that will go to war for our wellbeing. They embrace exploration and encourage the pursuit of dreams. So, I encourage you to take this as a reminder to love and cherish those who hold a special place your heart.
The artwork features the silhouette of my sister who was gifted the Pretty Bird Woman name upon birth from my grandmother. A young bird can also be seen taking its first flight, symbolizing growth as my sister continues the legacy of Pretty Bird Woman.
