This artist brings Native folklore to life with artwork you can touch

Uncategorized Posted: November 12, 2019 5:26 pm

“With wall-sized scrolls of coloring-book panels, [RYAN! Feddersen] shares her modern take on traditional Native American Coyote stories. (Coyote is addicted to technology; Coyote gets caught up in Russian propaganda online.) In the lore of the Interior Salish peoples, she explains, ‘When Coyote is killed at the end of the story, all it takes is a scrap of bone or fur to bring him back to life.’ An enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (her heritage includes Okanogan and Arrow Lakes), Feddersen sees a connection between Coyote’s immortality trick and contemporary Native American identity. ‘As long as we continue to wield our creativity,’ she says, ‘our culture will stay alive.'” – PBS NewsHour
