An Ojibway artist is taking a feminist stand against online critics, who say she should be ashamed of her recent award-winning piece called Decolonize Your Gitch. Summer Peters recently won a judge's choice award at a U.S. art festival for her artwork, a bra and thong beaded with traditional floral designs. But others objected to the piece, accusing her of "promoting violence towards native women." Summer Peters is hoping to inspire other Indigenous women to push the boundaries of Native art. She is not sure what she is going to do with the piece, but is open to having it displayed.
