About

Hi, I'm Michael Weasel Bear 👋🏽

I'm an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota tribe and the creator and artist behind Rez Girls.

I created Rez Girls from my drawings and because I wanted to bring positive, contemporary, and stylish representation of Native American women and girls into the world. Growing up, I didn't see enough images that reflected the beauty, strength, and modern lives of Indigenous women, and I wanted to change that.

I was inspired by some of my favorite artists who turned their art into products, and that spark pushed me to do the same. Rez Girls is my way of sharing that vision with you through coloring books that celebrate who we are in a fresh, modern, and empowering way.

Thank you for being here and supporting this work. It truly means everything. 🌟
