The horror in the faces of my co-workers when I said I had no interest in spending money to go see enslavers, rapists, etc. busts on the side of a mountain that is a stolen, treaty breaking, sacred, and historical Native American site...

This is not so much a story about current politics as it is a historical recounting of the #WoundedKneeMassacre of 1890. Though the politics these days are similar.

A color Photograph of "Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe", which translates to Six Grandfathers. From this angle natural formations and weathering on the rocks seem to make several people shaped faces and a raven shape. The rock and shadows are very light pale grey through to very dark grey. The sky a bright blue with no visible clouds. Some pine trees growing on the mountain give it greenery randomly from the base, middle and right side of image. From this angle the mountain is not instantly recognizable as it is with the typical images shared of Mt. Rushmore with its carved heads.

I don’t know about you but when I was a kid watching cowboy films I always wanted to be a ‘red Indian ’ rather than a cowboy #CrazyHorse #Illustration #LakotaSioux #OglalaBand #NativeAmericans #art

Good that Biden pardoned his son. Now he needs to pardon 80 year-old Native American activist Leonard Peltier. It’s long overdue!

This is in fact my proudest artwork achievement yet, and due to the insane amount of detail on the whole city environment, it was the longest time-consuming masterpiece I've ever worked through.
