The 400 Years Project Looks At Native American Identity Through The Native Lens

Unknown 05:10 Arts & Life : NPR, Entertaiment

Born and raised on the Cheyenne River Reservation, a sovereign Lakota nation in South Dakota, Dawnee LeBeau is Oóhenuŋpa Itázipčo (two kettle and without bows) of the Tetonwan Oyate (people of the plains). After losing her father, she found comfort in doing things she did with him, like identifying plants. LeBeau was doing that with family when she made this image of her niece.

The 400 Years Project is a pictorial collection of Native American life. It addresses colonization while centering the Native voice.
