In 'A Family Reimagined,' Cody James Houle vividly portrays the racial prejudice faced by many Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, emphasizing the impact of attempted cultural destruction and familial separation experienced through events such as the residential school system, the 1960’s scoop, and enfranchisement of Indigenous People.
The painting captures the heartbreaking reality where knowing one's family, community, and culture was a human right and privilege taken from Indigenous People, and these effects of intergenerational trauma are experienced to this day.
Wallets are made from synthetic leather measuring 19x10x3 cm. The wallet has 14 card slots, 6 pockets, and a zippered change pocket. It comes in an elegant box with a protective pouch.
