Kamiakin Lives:
As Crazy Horse is important to the Lakota, Kamiakin is to the Yakama. In recognizing sovereignty in the history of those who came before Washington was a State, we have to acknowledge the relationship of the original inhabitants to the land. In this ledger drawing, points of reference are both historic and geographic. The coulees, buttes, ridges, lakes and waterfalls of those who call this land home flow across the drawn landscape with Kamiakin, the protective warrior in the forefront. Battles, farms, railways and triumphant final stands exist within this artistic lens.
