How to talk about Traditional Tobacco
Pisstaahkaan (Tobacco) 9” x 12” watercolor pencil and acrylic paint pen on mixed media paper. 2023. This drawing uses Blackfoot symbolism and imagery to highlight the important role that pisstaahkaan (tobacco) plays in Blackfoot spirituality, interconnected relationships, and our ceremonial way of life. This image depicts the crucial role that the beaver plays in the woman successfully planting and cultivating tobacco plants. For Blackfoot people, the beaver’s role as a water being teaches us both when and where to plant tobacco in an environment near their habitat.
