Inspirations






Top:
A lovely work titled 'Indian Country Today' by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. This painting, acrylic with collage of newspaper clippings, is what she calls " coyote sneak-up". "The wash is to indicate a complete makeover of a land formerly roamed and named by other inhabitants " She overlays the clippings with iconographic contours of the United States to draw in the viewer, coyote-like.
Bottom:
Contact Sheet of images from the book of personal geographies used in our group discussions with the youth. By Katharine Harmon, ' You Are Here: Personal Geographies & other Maps of the Imagination'
