I never did figure out what nation you are. The drawn carving there reminds me of what I've seen of Northwest US native artwork. Sometimes you get the essence of something without realism....
Part of me wants to start drawing little hits and clues here and there, but I actually borrow from different groups because I'm actually more than one.
On my mother's side I'm Stolo... which is Coast Salish; from halfway up British Columbias coast down into Washington State. The fish there is a Coast design... it was actually for a different punchline but the drawing didn't work.
My Dad was a mixture of Ojibwe and Anisshnobi Cree... prairie natives from Saskatchewan. You'll see that come out in drawings about Buffalo and more ridged looking cheekbones.
Thank you for the detailed answer. I hope my question didn't come across disrespectful. I have a great deal of respect for the various first nations cultures and wish that they hadn't been so oppressed and separated from their culture in the past. The world today still has a lot to learn from the first nations cultures and I know I will never have enough knowledge to distinguish them properly and understand the differences. I don't always express myself well in my incessant curiosity. ;-)
