This NFT is part of a series of images created as a collaboration between Eve-Lauryn LaFountain (Turtle Mountain Chippewa), Cody Edison and Christine Wood. LaFountain wove together strips of found film and scratched the words "You Are on Native Land" into the emulsion. The titles are in Ojibwe, her tribal language, which she learns word by word through her art practice.
America was founded on the genocide and stolen lands of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island, the people who have continued to survive and protect their lands despite over 500 years of continued settler colonialism.
This NFT is a digital acknowledgment of the Indigenous peoples who are the ancestral and continual caretakers of this land. We invite you to learn more about the history and current state of continued colonial occupation of Indigenous lands. You can start here: native-land.ca
