Navajo Girl Texting. Acrylic on Canvas Jeremy Singer MMXII #navajo #acrylic #nativeamericanart #painting #art #texting

I absolutely love art which demonstrates just how easily indigenous peoples blend tradition and contemporary styles and technologies.  I think this art is incredibly important, because it locates us in the present, in non-stereotypical ways, with identifying aspects of our cultures still as relevant as ever. Settlers need to see this…and so do we, to counteract the thousands of images that tells us we are all from the Plains and should ride horses and wear warbonnets and war paint all of the time or else not exist.  I think we too need to do a better job of acknowledging the diversity of our fellow indigenous people when we look for symbols or depictions of indigineity.
