Visited this lovely art work exhibits by indigenous artists from south America and north. today
I was not only amazed to see their vivid art work and amazing creativity, but was disturbed to read/see/hear through their art works (including films and dances) the extent to which their civilizations have been disturbed by white people in so many parts of the world such as the Sami tribe of reindeer herders in the Scandinavian countries, in Brazil and Peru in south America and so on.
Above relatively naive art...
