Gentle Tarot Reading Cloth - Black

The Gentle Tarot was created by Mariza Ryce Aparicio-Tovar and published by her independent publishing house, Mari in the Sky. Mari's Indigenous roots are Chichimeca and Wixárika from Zacatecas, Central México. She is an Anchorage Museum Residency Fellow and a Rasmuson Foundation grant recipient. The Alaska Humanities Forum has featured her art. She is currently based in Homer, Alaska. 

Mari’s art was created on and inspired by the lands of indigenous nations in three regions of Alaska: the lands of the Unangax̂ in Iluulux̂ (Unalaska) in the Aleutian Islands, the lands of the Sun’aq on Kodiak Island; and the Sugpiaq, Dena’ina, and the Ninilchik Village Tribe between the Kenai peninsula and Anchorage. Mari got to know these remote regions of Alaska over the course of eight years, while working for the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska Island and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Kodiak, Sand Point, and Dutch Harbor.
