Nibi is the Ojibway word for ''Water''. Star Quilts have been used for many generations among various Nations as gift of honour and protection. The Star Quilt design symbolizes our connection to the Universe and beyond. Nikki has incorporated the Star Quilt design as a tribute to her Nancy-baa (grandmother) , as well as Haudenosaunee SkyDome designs to honour her husband Delbert who is Mohawk and florals to honour her own Anishinaabe ancestry.
The Bear, or Mkwa in the Ojibwe language, is symbol of courage and balance. Nikki was drawn to include Bears in this design to show the reciprocal relationship to Mother Earth and to the animals. The Stars show our connection to the universe. The domes are the Haudenosaunee design that represents the Skyworld. The florals using Anishinaabe woodland designs, remind us of the beauty of nature.
The berries to honour the bears. The trees and forest are the original place of healing and wellness; in the forest we find our medicines, solitude, peace and balance.
