Mullyanne Nîmito maskotêw Cheyenne Rain LeGrande ᑭᒥᐊᐧᐣEdmonton, AB People's Choice Award - 2nd prize Size 27" x 40" Medium Photograph Edition 1/3 Nîmito in nêhiyawêwin translates to “she dances.” This performance/photograph includes two objects: a hybrid moccasin platform shoe and a bepsi/beer tab shawl. Mullyanne Nîmito explores my Nehiyaw femme identity, exploring ideas around Nehiyaw alien, protection, movement as healing, ancestral knowledge, traditional practice, and Nehiyawewin and Nehiyaw fashion. The bepsi tab shawl is a sculptural garment made of 3300 beer/pop can tabs that my community and I have been collecting for the past 5 years. I weaved the tabs and pastel ribbon together to create a long shawl with fringe similar to a fancy shawl.
