American flag protest piece

This piece is painted on animal hide.  It conveys the sentiment that Native American people feel towards the U.S. government.  The two Native American men are portrayed behind a barbed wire fence.  This piece is meant to remind people of how the U.S. government fulfilled it's 'manifest destiny' by removing and/or killing a people off to take their land.  This is a really interesting piece to think about and how the history they teach in schools differs from what really took place.
