Brothers celebrate the passing on of Indigenous values and traditions through powwow and traditional dancing, the next generation not only learns ancestral knowledge, but carries this sacred insight into the future.
Vanishing Series
The Vanishing Series is a response to the perception that Native American culture has or will "vanish." This idea of disappearance has been a mainstream thought that has only been propagated by Edward Curtis, a photographer who in 1904 produced a collection of photographs titled "Vanishing Race." The Vanishing Series aims to belie this idea.
