Description
From the We are Part of the Earth Exhibition, curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith at Centro Cultural de la Raza (April 6-May 20, 1990). One side of the structure is a store called "Honest Injun" with the "t" in the shape of a tomahawk. A caricature of a Native American is above the store's name. In the center of the store is an archway with a cross that has an arrow shot into it. On the shelves are bottles of Thunderbird wine, bumper stickers ("Custer Wore Arrow Shirts" and "Indians Discovered Columbus,") as well as tourist supplies such as feather headdresses and plastic tomahawks.
