We are honored to be creating a logo/graphic brand identity for the First Nations Womens Alliance, it is said that the logo is seen “as the entry to the brand strategy”… Our approach is to create an identifiable graphic that represents the brand outlook of First Nations Womens Alliance and the focus of supporting and healing the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

In many American Indian cultures, the creation stories began with a woman and the life cycles of the feminine energy. This is the focus of this brand strategy, feminine energies, empowerment, the gentle care of motherhood, and the plains identity of the North Dakota native nations. We created a powerful graphic of a mother, a warrior, a proud leader, the foundation of our native way of life. She is within a circular element to create the movement of all life, with a “plains” sun graphic illuminating around her to indicate a healthy way of life. In many American Indian cultures, the creation stories began with a woman and the life cycles of the feminine energy.

This is the focus of this brand strategy, feminine energies, empowerment, the gentle care of motherhood, and the plains identity of the North Dakota native nations. Support the First Nations Womens Alliance at all they do to make a difference in the lives of our families and communities.

My sister Lonnie Pourier, Feather LeBeau, Auntie K, Marilyn Pourier and quite few others are hosting a “Age of the Daughters” Kimimila Gathering at Thunder Valley in Pine Ridge South Dakota.

This event was planned to be ran a week ago but had to be rescheduled because we just buried our 14 year old relative Te’a D. LeBeaux…. who tragically took her own life this past week… tough blow on the family, very very sad for her mother Rose, her father Jerome and the brothers and sisters… so it is scheduled for this week to come August 11th, 2010. (Te’a is the pic on the upper left of the flyer).

If there is any way you can support these efforts please contact Lonnie Pourier at 605-454-4435 or contact me at walt@nakotadesigns.com 303-255-1730 or 303-229-0648 cell… we are already up to 50 girls… every little bit helps, school supplies, clothing product, cash donations, etc, this is a grassroots effort to help these young girls, to inspire them to live life to the fullest…. we realize this is gathering is coming up very quickly but we cannot wait… these type of efforts need to happen NOW.
