The cracked texture of the painting adds a historical layer, suggesting the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the Native American peoples. It gives a sense of age and timelessness, hinting at stories and experiences that have weathered countless years. The background is a collage of subtle images that depict scenes from everyday life and spiritual practices, such as people gathering, silhouettes of canoes, and tepees. These elements create a narrative tapestry that speaks of community, tradition, and the interconnectedness of life. I used earthy tones of brown, beige, and ochre, mixed with hints of blue and red. These colors are not only aesthetically pleasing but also reflect the colors of the land and sky, which are integral to Native American culture. The fading figures in the background hint at the idea of ancestral spirits looking over their descendants.

Overall, this piece is a powerful representation of Native American culture, weaving together elements of history, spirituality, and identity into a profound artistic expression. My intention is to invite the viewer to reflect on the rich tapestry of life, the passage of time, and the enduring spirit of a people deeply connected to their heritage and the natural world.
