This digital artwork reimagines First Nations identity through the lens of comic book superhero mythology. The character in this piece embodies a unique power rooted in their community’s deep connection to land, spirit, and resilience. In a world where First Nations narratives have often been erased or misunderstood, this work seeks to reclaim and celebrate our strength, sovereignty, and futurism. By placing us in the role of superheroes—guardians of culture, language, and environment—I aim to challenge colonial depictions of passivity and instead spotlight the heroic legacy and living resistance of our peoples. Superpowers are not arbitrary; they are reflections of sacred roles—healers, storytellers, warriors, protectors—rooted in cultural continuity and adaptation.
