Collection: VTA 2025 PAMBLO: Remembering a Forgotten Leader
Description: Traditionally, when trading with other California Tribes, the Nisenan would offer the rich medicines and healing herbs gathered from their ancestral landscape. These gifts carried knowledge, care, and deep relationship with the land.
Flowers Painted on Feathers: Wild Rose, Dandelion, Yarrow, California Poppy, Lavender, Clover, Echinacea, Camomile But with the devastation of the gold rush, the Indian boarding school era, and the many colonial systems designed to erase Native culture, much of this plant knowledge and the traditions surrounding it were violently disrupted.
This artwork speaks to the changes in the land and culture over time — a remembering and a returning.
Print Dimensions: 10” x 10”
