Creator: Edward Mills See all items with this value
Description: Mills' work is a compelling narrative, showing a white woman firing a cannon aimed at a damaged canoe as a lifeless indigenous person is floating near the wreck. Another woman, a child, a baby, and another indigenous person watch helplessly in the background. This work seems to be a commentary of the violence against Indigenous people in America.
