Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Marlena Myles is a self-taught Native American (enrolled Spirit Lake Dakota & also of Mohegan and Muscogee descent) artist located in St Paul, Minnesota. Her art brings modernity to Indigenous history, languages and oral traditions while using the land as a teacher. Minnesota is the traditional homelands of the Dakota people and the Dakota land maps Myles created teach all about the relationships and histories that are embedded as geographical data in the land, by reclaiming the Dakota names to these places. https://marlenamyl.es/ Dakota Land Maps Myles, Marlena.
