Description

This work depicts the land runs that revoked Native American territory given to them by the U.S. government after they were forced from their ancestral homelands. The “land rush” opened tribal lands for settlers to homestead based on a first arrival basis.
The composition of Broken Treaties contains six horses charging and four figures invaded. They are splintered by themselves, the stampede and one another. The work’s four figures embody a Witness, a Refugee, a Demonstrator and a Deity.
