Grand rising family 🙌🏾 some history on this great rising….
Relaxing or straightening our hair was a cultural custom that was practiced and passed down from generation to generation long before any Native American (black Indians) saw a white face on their land. So there is no way we could be trying to look white!
Our ancestors discovered that by soaking the corn in a solution called lime or woodash lye water, it would soften or burn the hulls of corn kernels. They soon discovered that this lye could be used for many things.
For example, they found that by using the lye water on the bark of a tree, it would soften the fibers and remove the sap that would make the bark hard.
After boiling the strips of bark and shaving them down to small pieces the bark fibers could be used to make all kinds of things like ropes, lines, nets, mats, baskets, bags, belts, straps, and shoes just to name a few.

This beautiful piece of medicine that I'm wearing around my neck is from no other Tashina Lee Emery. When I’m away from my elders in the southeastern woodlands (whether Chahta/Choctaw or not) this acrylic incased medicine reminds me of the ones like my grandfather, great-grandfather and cousin Sunny. @mxedgirlprobs It’s Native owned, Native made.
