Bulbancha Map (Print) *Fundraiser
We’ve created this beautiful full color 8×10″ print as a love letter to our state and to our incredible city, originally known as “Bulbancha,” meaning, “The Land of Many Tongues.”
Louisiana has been so lucky this hurricane season, so far, but we have not been in the past, and some of us are still suffering the consequences.
50% of profits from this print will be donated directly to the Isle De Jean Charles Emergency Response team and the Ida Relief for Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe Go Fund Me campaign, where the tribal communities are still trying to rebuild from last year’s devastating effects of Hurricane Ida.
An insert card, that comes with the print, states:
“We would like to acknowledge that, in Louisiana, we are living on the traditional territory of many indigenous nations: Chahta Yakni (Choctaw), Atakapa-Ishak, Yatasi, Bayagoula, Acolapissa, Okelousa, Opelousas, Tayoroniku (Tunica), Adai, Koroa, Tioux, Caddo, Osage, O-ga-xpa, Koasati (Coushatta), Washa, Chawasha, Chitimacha, Natchez, Taensa, Avoyel, and Houma.
*Our map is representative of the overlapping ways in which people lived and shared land and resources. (It is not an exact depiction of where each tribe was at any particular point in time—there are just too many lost records and forced migrations to accurately and fairly record that in a single image.)
New Orleans is truly Bulbancha, meaning “the place of many tongues,” in Choctaw. Some of these languages (and cultures) have already been lost to us and many are in danger, throughout the state. We have created this map with reverence and a promise to do better, to listen and learn.”
