Like all people we have a story to tell, yet some have three.  Those who lived and stood upon it's path understand the way of life I speak of. 

Then this is my story.

It is said that it is important I give to you a little history of one's self.  My name is William J. Wissian, a Woodland Ojibway treaty Indian from Canada.  I was born in the bush of Northern Ontario on my Mother Earth,  not in a hospital with doctors as some may think.  So then this begins my place of growth.  There was no running water or indoor plumbing.  Our electricity was a coal oil lamp and a wood stove and this I say with pride.  This place was called "Dog Patch", a part of the Pic Nation band.  There was many memories, thus I will share this one with with you. 

 

There comes a time in all beings life that the eye within eyes see the color of life and all its wholeness.  Like  listening to a bird sing in a meadow of many flowers or the sounds of a child laughing as gentle drops of morning rain tickle rolling from her face, capturing the light of life only to let it go, feeding others we never know.  From the dust and dirt came the rooted and green that life moves on thru my past.
Throughout time I learned and heard it said and called Native things, like pouches and bags.  This is because people lack the real knowledge and understanding of what these gifts truly are.  So it does little or next to nothing to do justification to that which is us.  With its name, every thing had its reason and purpose of being, thus I say unto all that these are but gifts in our walk of life.  For those of the bags, shirts,  staffs and rattles, we as indigenous people carry them through life by earning them.

 As a young boy I enjoyed sketching and doing drawings, then moved into painting.  Some years later I was introduced to our way of life and that which belongs.  A relative stood before me, clothing, weapons and dress wear, the first time I saw my people for who they were, a vision of the past.  With this came inspiration.  I interlocked sight thru thought, its feelings, dreams and visions.  To this reality I now live.
