1992 was an important year for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Not because it was the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus, but because they were in a period of great change, a period when Indian law, the Indian government, Indian education, Indian economic development, Indian environmentalism, and Indian spirituality are undergoing revitalization and gaining recognition in wider circles of influence. Part of that movement was also the reclamation of their cultural rights to determine who we are for themselves. Art has played a vital role in Indians over the centuries in expressing self-determined identity.
