Personal Definition: expression that reflects a form of indigenous consciousness
 * __Sept. 12 - Native Artist__**

What it means: to share indigenous culture in a varity of mediums.

Artist: Alex Jacobs - Akwesasne Mohawk (St. Regis Mohawk) I liked this guys work from the perspective of emilating a native point of view. I am not particularly attracted to the "style" of some of the painting, but they were great examples of how I view what a native artits express.
