Tiger Tiger, Tiger, burning bright / In the forests of the night; / Dappled light on furrowed brow, / What careless loss hath man wrought now? In what distant fields or woods / Has your kind been gone for good! / Oh lost hope is not our creed, / We used our greed to do this deed! Stripes of onyx on amber strides, / We raped your kind, you can not hide! / And when thy heart lay still and dry, / Perhaps by then we learn to cry! Bullets, traps, dogs, the like, / Chased you deep into that dark night. / At times you taunted from bamboo lairs, / Places so tight a man not dare! Your kind is leaving, / tis sad our loss! / We beat our chests, / death has no boss! Stars threw down their spears on you / And water’d heaven with their tears / You lay their, dying, filled with fear! Did he who made the Lamb make thee? / Another day you shall not see. Tiger, Tiger, burning bright, / In the forests, one last night: / What immoral hand or eye, / Took your fire and made you cry? Adapted and altered by Mundy Hackett, based upon the famous poem entitled ‘The Tyger” by Sir William Blake! Save the tiger, save the planet, save those things which we wantonly destroy through our greed and incessant pursuit for domination of the natural world. The planet is a living organism, the tiger is but one example of the fire beating in it’s heart, but with each tiger lost in the wild the fire burns a little less brightly. Don’t let the fire go out, save the tiger, save the world! / / / / Part of my line promoting awareness and raising funds for endangered species globally. This is also available as cards and prints.

In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act which settled land and financial claims and provided for the establishment of 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations to administer those claims. Similar to the status of the Canadian Inuit and First Nations, which are recognized as distinct peoples, Alaska Natives are in some respects treated separately from Native Americans in the United States. Cultures / Below is a full list of the different Alaska Native cultures. Within each culture are many different tribes. Athabascan / Ahtna / Deg Hit’an / Dena’ina / Gwich’in / Hän / Holikachuk / Kolchan / Koyukon / Lower Tanana / Tanacross / Upper Tanana / Eyak / Haida / Tlingit / Tsimshian / Eskimo / Inupiat (an Inuit people) / Yupik / Siberian Yupik / Yup’ik / Cup’ik / Sugpiaq (Alutiiq) / Chugach / Koniag / Aleut (in their own language they refer to themselves as Unangan) Natives are a majority in approximately 176 villages and small cities and are a substantial part of the population in over 200 communities. Alaska’s southeastern panhandle is the traditional territory of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Indian tribes. Natives constitute 70 percent of the population of these villages (and their surrounding areas) which stretch the length of the panhandle from Yakutat in the north to Metlakatla in the south.

Watercolour painting of Red Riding Hood created for the first ever challenge hosted by the group, Myths Legends and Fairytales. It is also my first attempt at a fairytale inspired painting. The concept of an unhappy Red Riding Hood was also inspired by the song Red is Blue by Ben Folds. It is a song off the animated movie Hoodwinked, a fractured fairytale that has become one of my all time faves! / Song Lyrics are below and can also be seen via the link above. / Soundtrack: Hoodwinked / Title: Red Is Blue (Ben Folds) Everything is changing / You’re looking for the cure / And you feel like you’re the loneliest girl in the world / Trouble in your head now / Don’t know what to do / Seems like up is down and red is blue Red is blue / Red is blue Remember when we started / Days when all was fun / All that we could make when life was young / Now you’re getting older / Nothing feels the same / You can’t even make sense of your own name Because red is blue / (Doesn’t make much sense) / But red is blue / (Messing with your head now) / Red is blue Oohh / Oohh
