I made this Protect the Sacred image in collaboration with National Geographic Photographer Aaron Huey in support of www.honorthetreaties.org, an organization that amplifies the voices of Indiginous communities by funding collaborations between artists and Native advocacy groups. This image also addresses the universal threats to the environment that both Native Americans and the rest of Americans face. I admire the Native American philosophy of harmony with nature and respecting and protecting the earth. Aaron and I have collaborated on several projects to benefit Honor the Treaties on both general Native advocacy and specific Treaty rights issues like the struggle for the Black Hills of South Dakota. These projects have helped to facilitate poster campaigns in more than a dozen cities and many large scale murals. Proceeds from this print go to fund the next awareness campaign by the “Honor The Treaties” artists for Protection of Sacred land, water, and air on the Reservations and beyond. You can see more art made by the Honor The Treaties group, and download all of it at high resolution, free of charge HERE.
