It’s done on an antique prison ledger. A lot of original Plains Indian ledger art was created while Plains Indian warriors were incarcerated. It’s also a tribute to all the warriors who continue to stand up for our rights as Indigenous people. We are still here!”

We’ve invited over 20 Indigenous artists, community members, and their allies to illustrate their answer to “What does land back mean to you?” on billboards placed in communities currently fighting for Indigenous rights and the protection of Native land.
