In this article, Native American artists including River Garza and Jaque Fragua were able to shape the way the people viewed the Indigenous community as well as their own. Starting in LA’s Skid Row, artists began to share their artwork and heritage. LA’s Skid Row was eventually renamed Indian Alley. Orignially, it was a "filthy, crime-ridden alley that a lot of people died in, and overdosed in, and drank themselves to death in, and were killed in". This location was in bad shape and many looked at it negatively, which inspired a change to be made. By filling this alley with artwork, it was transformed into something beautiful. The persepctives of community members were complletely shifted as intresting Indian-inspired art was shared. I found this very moving because the artists were able to improve people's moods and brighten their communities with their work. I appreciated how the work was all Native-American, but didn't focus on the cliches such as feathers and tents. Chernick explains how Native American artists are creating murals to inform about their heritage while not including typical iconography. This art is fun and educational for spreading positivity and Native culture. In my community, it could be cool to do something inspired by this such as a mural representing different cultures in Weston or something focused on diversity.
