Spirit of the Farmer



This is a piece by a man who does canvas work in Pacific Coast style.  He had traditional symbols but this one stood out to me because of the tractor in it.  I've never seen modern equipment or material be depicted in such a traditional way.  The name of this piece is  "Spirit of the Farmer."  This piece illustrates that groups of Native Americans have moved to use modern ways of sustaining themselves but have still been able to keep traditional aspects of their group.
