I am from North America, and in my first marriage I married a Native American man and had three half Native American children. Apache and Pueblo Indian. Since then, with my current husband who is a Afro Cuban and I are making a film, ‘Whispers Like Thunder’ about three Wynadot Indians from Kansas; Lyda Conley was the first to fight the Supreme Court and win. It exposes the United States in their quest for Native American territory. In the research of this film, I have really begun to understand what Native American women have to go through even to this day. Although I cannot make up the sins of my country’s past, I was inspired to do a graphic artistic expression of me as a Native American. Symbolic of my journey of having three Native American children and also my love for their culture and our shared country. I love this piece, it is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it.
