"As a subject for Native artists, the land/landscape is laden with history and expectation.  Land is home, culture, and identity, but it also represents violence, isolation, and loss.  These many relationships continue to shape our consciousness as contemporary people, whether we live on the reservation, or in the jungle, the suburbs, or the city."
