This document discusses several contemporary Native American artists and their work. Some artists, like Mike Dart of the Cherokee Nation, work to continue traditional basket weaving techniques. Others, such as Juane Quick-To-See Smith and Shan Goshorn, use their art to draw attention to modern issues facing Native Americans and address topics like human rights, stereotypes, and broken treaties. Their varied styles and mediums allow Native artists to both preserve cultural heritage and comment on social and political concerns.
