Generations
No full textThe sun shines over a field of corn, beans, and squash ready to be harvested.
From the artist:
The story behind this piece references, two different sources or stories. The first story is known as The Three Sisters, (Corn, Beans and Squash). They are grown together and look after one another. Many tribes have a story regarding growing these crops together. There is a practical reason why planting these crops together works. But there was also a spiritual component of why these crops were planted together, and that was reflective in this piece titled Generations.
The Three Sisters look after one another. Corn looks after her sister, beans, by growing tall, so her stocks are strong enough so the bean vines and climb the stocks. In doing so, her sister beans will have somewhere to grow and be protected. Beans provide nutrients to the soil around her sisters, corn and squash that they may grow strong and healthy. The other sister, squash, will shade the mound with her leaves and ensuring that the mound will retain moisture and nutrients. The leaves will also keep the mound from unwanted weeds from growing as well.
The second story comes from the Mandan about The Old Woman Who Never Dies, she sends geese, swans, and ducks, indicating to the people when to plant. In the spring when the people would see geese that meant it was time to plant corn. When the people would see the ducks, that meant to plant beans and when they would see the swans that meant to plant squash.
The history of agriculture from the Native American perspective was more than just growing food. For those tribes that primarily grew food their life was reflective of that in their songs and ceremonies and how they lived.
In this piece, the earth lodge represents people/families/nations. The crops represent agriculture/food/sustenance. The water, sun and soil provide the nutrients that the crops may grow year after year generation after generation.
When we work together with all of our different talents and gifts life could be so beautiful. Examples of working together can be found everywhere in nature. This piece represents just a few examples in nature of what can be possible when we work together.

Infant Survival Instincts
Get PDFInfant reflexes are automatic, instinctive responses that infants possess to ensure their best chance to thrive. These reflexes serve as critical steps for survival, emotional regulation, and building blocks for early development. Understanding the role of reflexes in early infant development provides important implications for caregivers, physicians, and child psychologists. Being able to not only recognize but also promote and support these reflexes ensures healthy monitoring and response to support favorable growth and development and the best opportunity for infants and children in the sensorimotor stage to thrive
