Unbroken: Indigenous Peoples Today

Joe Seymour, Squaxin Island and Pueblo of Acoma Artist, 47 Years Old

"If you want to be an artist then it’s really about a leap of faith. You have to ask yourself 'What do you want to bring into this world?.' And when I asked myself that question years ago, I just wanted to keep my culture alive. The Coast Salish culture was something that was almost gone in the late 60s and early 70s and we had very few artifacts to work with.'
