“Of course all good and productive public art is often created for a community,” Edgar Heap of Birds said. “These citizens can use the work, add to it and/or be enlightened. Effective public art is not to only ‘decorate.’ The community adds to the work by playing/being active on the court paintings.”
“Our courts speak from a Sovereign perspective, in that to honor the earth, seas, animals, sky, natural world is a Native focus and priority,” he said. “Sovereignty is about origins and honor to offer the good as well as protect what we hold sacred, such as our youth and elders, those entities should always come first along with our natural world.”
