Red Road Collective
My name is Marie.
I founded Red Road Collective, along with a few of my shawl sisters, in East Lansing, Michigan in the Winter of 1993. We had a lot of good times together. We've all been together on the Pow-Wow trail since we could first walk. We've done a lot of crying and talking and later, writing and thinking together. We got kicked out of the Michigan Women's Music Festival together. And we've all been pelted with gargage and verbally abused by the WILLIES (Well-Intentioned Liberal Left Insidiously Emulating Skins). Through it all, we supported each other. In the tradition of my elders, we laughed through the pain. I love my shawl sisters more than anything on this earth. I want to thank them for getting me through Eastern High School and four years of 'higher education.'
The newletters, the message pages and the collection of information all developed from this tight group. Most of the artwork is mine. It's a combination of designs I can remember from Pow-Wow programs and doodles I did to survive 8th grade Algebra. I'd particularly like to thank Shannan, Marie, Bonnie, Carla, Shelly, Grace, Michelle and Auntie Laura for helping me keep my spirit strong!
