Generations of Heritage

Two young brothers visiting D-Q University read one of the faded art murals found throughout the campus. Murals like these are not seen often and are an invaluable opportunity for younger Native generations to learn from and reconnect with their heritage.

While I took this photo the older brother was reading the mural to his younger brother: "You don't hold your head up with pride for yourself or your people. You hold your head up so the Creator and all above may bless you!"

  • After talking to Joe he slid a card across the table and offered for me to photograph it. It was something that people don't often see - a Tribal ID. Almost everything on this Tribal ID was the same as everyone else's except for one major item, and that was "Blood Degree". Blood degree means what Native blood percentage someone has, and can determine whether they have access to Tribal membership and government benefits.
