19TH ANNUAL ART EXPOSITION
We Shall Remain!
2009 Arts Project
“The Master of Life has appointed this place for us to light our fires and
here we shall remain.” - Tecumseh Shawnee
Despite centuries of encroachment, warfare, and neglect, Native American Indians have proved that we remain a vital force in the life of America.
Native peoples have always adapted and when necessary fought back-- from the Wampanoags of New England, to Geronimo and his band of Chiricahuas, to Tecumseh, to the visionary Principal Chief of the Cherokees; John Ross during the Nu-No-Du-Na Tlo-Hi-Lu, “The Trail Where They Cried”, to the bold new leaders of the 1970s such as Russell Means & Clyde Bellecourt who
harnessed the momentum of the civil rights movement to forge a pan-Indian identity and advocate organizations such A.I. M. (American Indian Movement), to current Native American Indian leaders
and spokespersons such as Vine Deloria, John Echo-Hawk, Ada Deer, or Wilma Mankiller who today are striving to establish and hold onto rights for all Native American People.
