COVER: Wendy Red Star (Crow), Winter,
2006, digital photographic print, 30 x 26 in.
Image courtesy of the artist. From Red Star’s
The Four Seasons series, inspired by the artificial
environment of a natural history museum in
which the artist found antique Crow moccasins,
alluding to the greater romanticization and
misrepresentation of Native peoples.
