Creations—Indigenous
In North America, to our great shame, we continue to marginalize and ignore indigenous citizens. This happens in all realms, including art. When we, and I certainly include myself in this, think of Native art, the images that often spring to mind are of artisans recreating ancient folk art. While this is absolutely important to preserve a fading heritage, we can’t be ignorant of the indigenous American artists who are weaving their stories and cultures into new forms of expression.
