NOTICE:
This image is racially offensive by today’s standards. It is a reminder of ways white Iowans have appropriated the imagery and symbolism of First Nation People. This photo participates in the racism that was normalized and accepted by the dominant culture, but that has always been critiqued by Native peoples. We include this photo in the archive to ensure that past cultural practices are remembered, interpreted, and dismantled.
