It was a crime that shook the art world. One hundred million dollars in suspected forgeries, over 1000 more fakes seized and 8 arrests in a far-reaching forgery ring of renowned Ojibwa artist Norval Morrisseau's work. Police call it one of the largest art fraud schemes in history. But it's not just Morrisseau who has faced fakes and forgeries. Indigenous art makers and supporters all across Turtle Island say it is rampant and the cost is not just their livelihood – it is their culture. Indigenous artists say copycat art is more common than you think and copyright laws must evolve to protect them. Richard Hunt comes from a long line of Northwest Coast artists. The 73 year old Kwaguilth artist started carving at the age of 13 alongside his father, Henry Hunt. Richard says for about as long as he's been a carver, he has seen his work copied. He says it is worse than stealing art: it is stealing cultural property. It was a design meant to support Residential School Survivors but the artist who created the West Coast stylized hands says people are ripping it off for profit. K'ómoks and Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw visual artist Andy Everson and his wife Erin Brillon, Haida and Cree and owner of Totem Design House, have experienced the damage of copycats firsthand. They see websites selling inauthentic Indigenous art and design pop up on an almost daily basis. The husband and wife team work to educate others about the importance of buying authentic Indigenous art. As the first art historian to be appointed to the Senate of Canada, Senator Patricia Bovey champions Canadian art. But she also advocates for better protections for Indigenous artists' work. Currently, there are few laws preventing counterfeit and fake Indigenous art in Canada but Senator Bovey hopes to change that by pushing changes to Canada's copyright laws and setting up a fund that would help artists go after art fakesters.

Michael Yellow Bird, is a citizen of the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota and he is the dean of the faculty of social work at the University of Manitoba. He's been practicing mindfulness for decades and he researches the effects of Indigenous ceremony and mindfulness on the brain. He says mindfulness can decolonize the brain. Smudging - burning herbs like sage - is becoming increasingly popular in some wellness circles. But is it cultural appropriation? Tareyn Johnson is Anishinaabe and a member of Georgina Island First Nation. She's been practicing yoga for many years and has seen sacred medicines like sage being misused or improperly handled in a growing number of yoga studios. Jessica Barudin is Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw and a member of the Namgis First Nation on Vancouver Island and founder of the First Nations Women's Yoga Initiative.

Hi storytelling friends
Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -A number of questions have arisen in regard to the report of BC First Nations supporting fish farms brought forward last week Firstly the author of this very polished 20 page is not mentioned and while a great many facts are presented, few sources are given. There is some question as to who the First Nations for Finfish Stewardship actually represents. There were initially said to be 17 Nations, but their map only displays 13 names on their map. The K'omoks First nation is one of the 13, but on Facebook, Chief Nicole Rempel of K'omoks First Nation wrote, “previous Chief signed us up in 2014 or 2015 I think, without consulting community and I've been trying to get us out of it since 2017. Our community members do not want us to be connected with them.” They were one of the seven First Nations that DFO consulted prior to deciding that fish farms must be phased out of the Discovery Islands. The We Wai Kai were also among the seven and one of its members insisted that that's nation's name does not belong on that list. She wrote, “This has to stop. It's all about money we will never see. We want to eat wild salmon that's what we grew up on. My family says no to farm fish.” Two Ahousat expressed their disapproval of their nation being on the list and called for consultation. While these last references were from band members rather than chiefs, there are also questions about the land where the Tlowitsus Nation wants to see fish farms. Tlow it see They are not the only First Nation claiming it as their ancestral territory and the Ma'a̱mtagila Nation is opposed to fish farms. As Chief Ernest Alfred recently explained in a recent press conference given by the Maaamtagila and three other Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw nations, “The Ma'a̱mtagila own this area! They own this area, but it isn't exclusive. You need to understand that this is disputed territory.”

A new exhibition at the Bard Graduate Center entitled The Story Box: Franz Boas, George Hunt and the Making of Anthropology explores the hidden histories and complex legacies of one of the most influential books in the field of anthropology, Franz Boas’s 1897 highly influential “The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians.” Groundbreaking in its holistic detail, this portrait of a Native North American society was the result of Boas’s fieldwork with the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw of British Columbia and collaboration with his Indigenous research partner, George Hunt. The exhibition—with includes designs by artist Corrine Hunt, a great-granddaughter of George Hunt—features ceremonial objects as well as rare archival photographs, manuscripts, and drawings that shed new light on the book and advance understanding of the ongoing cultural traditions it documents. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, the show’s curator Aaron Glass, associate professor at Bard, joins Corrine Hunt for a conversation on this important work in the early days of anthropology as we now know it.
