⋆˚✿˖° I am no longer going by the name Brittney, I have had many great years going by this name but as I keep finding new growth through my work and life. I have found that I want to hold space for my Indian (Indigenous) name, Namaakii, meaning “Single Woman” in my mother’s first language, Blackfoot.⋆˚✿˖°

⋆˚✿˖° I am also comfortable with Bee as a name to be addressed by.⋆˚✿˖°

About

Namaakii Bee Bear Hat is a Mohkinstsis based artist, whose Blackfoot and Cree/Dane-zaa ancestors have lived on the lands that are now part of Treaty 7 and 8, for many millennia. Her work explores this cultural lineage through installation, photography, text and collage. Bear Hat graduated from the Alberta University of the Arts in 2011, where she majored in painting. Her work explores identity and story-telling, wanting to give back to the rich stories of her home territories. Within her work, Bear Hat is unfolding that which ties her to these unique landscapes.
