"People of the Shore"

Description

Artist Statement:
"A piece symbolizing Shinnecock Natives protecting their land. It contains tribal member Sunshine Gumbs, at a location in Westwoods that belongs to the Shinnecock people. On a gorgeous day with a whale fin splashing in the water, we still have to be prepared to defend our land. As you can see, she's not threatening, but well prepared to defend what's hers."
