“Tavluġun (chin tattoos) mean something different to each woman who wears them . . .”

… They are markers of her life and the celebration of her milestones. In today’s context they are a symbol of strength and culture and rejection of Western ideals of beauty and societal norms. They challenge and represent the loss of so much of our traditions and the literal death of our people and the strength of each woman wearing them!”

~Holly Mititquq Nordlum, from Matika Wilbur’s book Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America
