Kitchi, means "Brave" in the Native American Algonquin language.
This work was created in abstract-realism on a large 24" x 30" stretched, gallery wrapped canvas. I painted it in oils, using some bright hues, bold brush strokes, and added texture.
Some fun facts about the Algonquin language :
"Algonquian?" What does it mean?
Algonquian is pronounced "al-GON-kee-un." (GON rhymes with "on.") It doesn't actually mean anything. Anthropologists invented this term to refer to tribes who spoke a related group of languages. There are more than half a million Native American people today belonging to Algonquian tribes. The reason you cannot find online information about contemporary Algonquian people is that they rarely call themselves by this generic anthropological term.You can look them up by their real tribal names. There are a few extinct Algonquian tribes, including the Beothuk and Wappinger tribes, but the vast majority of Algonquian tribes still survive today.
...... everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence.
