WE DON'T WANT INDIANS...JUST THEIR NAMES, CITIES, MASCOTS, OBJECTS...

Native Americans are often misunderstood and still continuously stereotyped. This piece was made with the intent to bring awareness to discrimination and stereotypes my people still face. Left to right, here is what each panel addresses:

1. Native American culture as a costume

2. Sitting "Indian" style

3. The Tomahawk Chop

4. Cleveland Indians baseball team, "Redskin"

5. Mass use of tribal design

6. Atlanta Braves baseball team, "Redskin"

7. Popularity of dream catchers being made without proper materials

8. Headdresses worn by those who have not earned them

9. "Do Native Americans live in teepees?"
