Kodahe Okapiya (Young Sun Flower) - Dakota

This beautiful image of an indigenous native tribal woman exhibited on stretched canvas is a powerful representation of the beauty and strength of indigenous people and their cultures throughout the world. The striking colors and intricate details in the image contrast further with the harsh realities of colonialism and the relentless persecution of indigenous people across North America. This image urges us to remember that even in present times, our indigenous brothers and sisters are denied the justice and respect they deserve. Humankind has much to learn from indigenous communities and their understanding of nature and our relationship with the land. By this image, we are reminded of the richness of indigenous cultures and traditions, and of their importance to the story of modern America. Only by understanding the present and confronting the ugly truth of the past can we hope to achieve genuine reconciliation and a more equitable future for all.
