Welcome to the Red Road Collective's HOME TRUTH PAGE!
Boozhoo!
My name is Marie.
I founded Red Road Collective, along with a few of my shawl sisters, in East Lansing, Michigan in the Winter of 1993. We had a lot of good times together. We've all been together on the Pow-Wow trail since we could first walk. We've done a lot of crying and talking and later, writing and thinking together. We got kicked out of the Michigan Women's Music Festival together. And we've all been pelted with gargage and verbally abused by the WILLIES (Well-Intentioned Liberal Left Insidiously Emulating Skins). Through it all, we supported each other. In the tradition of my elders, we laughed through the pain. I love my shawl sisters more than anything on this earth. I want to thank them for getting me through Eastern High School and four years of 'higher education.'
The newletters, the message pages and the collection of information all developed from this tight group. Most of the artwork is mine. It's a combination of designs I can remember from Pow-Wow programs and doodles I did to survive 8th grade Algebra. I'd particularly like to thank Shannan, Marie, Bonnie, Carla, Shelly, Grace, Michelle and Auntie Laura for helping me keep my spirit strong!
CHI MIIGWECH!
MINO AYAAWIN!
Marie

We're having some technical difficulties but soon you'll be able to drag your mouse over the photos and see where they came from.
The photographs represent the collective's desire for strong, intelligent Native Women for our role models, as opposed to the lame Poke-a-haunt-us/Land O-Lakes stereotypes we are bombarded with everyday. You can click on many of the images to learn more about these women that we admire.

Summary. There is a steady rumor floating around the internet started by a crank nameed Paul Rock Kerche, that this site is a "front" for someone named Jane Redfeather Hall.
Here are the facts:
~*~There is currently no one in the collective by that name and there has never been. It should be obvious, even to those in a coma, that this is an anti-fraud activist site. Our intent is to educate and preserve the beauty and integrity of all aspects Anishinaabe culture.
