Inspiration

Extending the Rafters: A Story of Welcome

When we gather together, our circle grows wider, our connections deeper, and our community stronger. The Heart of Our Design The inspiration for our gift box comes from the Haudenosaunee tradition of "Extending the Rafters" - Kaiéri niiorì:wake - a powerful metaphor for expanding one's home and heart to welcome more people.

Just as our ancestors would physically extend their longhouses to make room for new family members, this principle teaches us about growth, inclusion, and the warmth of community. A Modern Welcome Mohawk Artist Melissa Brant brings this teaching to life through her exclusive gift box design. Her artwork captures the essence of Kaiéri niiorì:wake - showing how a home can stretch and grow while maintaining its strong foundation.

The design reflects both physical and spiritual expansion: The lengthening of rafters symbolizes our expanding circle of friendship Traditional patterns represent the weaving together of communities Flowing lines echo the continuous growth of relationships Earth tones ground us in our connection to land and tradition The Spirit of Sharing Inside this thoughtfully designed box, you'll find carefully selected teas, coffee, and chocolates - each chosen to help create moments of connection. Like extending the rafters of a longhouse, sharing these beverages opens our hearts and homes to new friendships and deeper understanding.

Artist

Melissa Brant

Melissa Brant stands tall and proud as an Indigenous woman, holding multifaceted roles: a mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Beyond these intimate roles, Melissa's identity blossoms vibrantly as a multidisciplinary artist specializing in face and body painting.

To Melissa, art is not just a medium of expression; it's a beacon, illuminating the richness of culture. It plays a pivotal role in weaving together generations, offering a platform to share knowledge, inspire the youth, and connect with the wisdom of elders. It becomes a silent yet powerful communicator, voicing sentiments when words fall short. She celebrates healing, understanding, acceptance, purpose, and illumination through her art.

Every brushstroke echoes her gratitude to those who paved the path before her, those walking beside her, and those who will trail-blaze in the future. Melissa's exceptional talent emerges most brilliantly when she merges illusion with body art, ushering her work into a realm of innovation and vision.

Over the past decade, her artistry has traversed a broad spectrum - from abstract creations and lifelike portraits to expansive murals and enchanting masquerades. Whether working on canvas, glass, or human skin, Melissa's touch metamorphoses the ordinary into extraordinary.
