James Luna (Luiseño)The Artifact Piece, 1987, was a performance/installation that questioned American Indian presentation in museums-presentation that furthered stereotype, denied contemporary society and one that did not enable an Indian viewpoint.  The exhibit, through 'contemporary artifacts' of a Luiseño man, showed the similarities and differences in the cultures we live, and putting myself on view brought new meaning to 'artifact.'  (Durland 37)

Kade Twist (Cherokee)Suburban Bush is from a series of two-dimensional work titled Semiotic Warfare. The series utilizes short, stark, poignant and ironic phrases written in Cherokee syllabary, and a variety of media, to examine postcolonial signifiers that define contemporary geographies, economic markets, political bodies and intercultural intercourse throughout North America. In this work the Cherokee syllabary becomes a transformative medium of Cherokee propagation and cultural/political self-determination. By engaging the viewer, the architecture of a particular space and the broader contexts of a particularized regional geography the work becomes a semiotic vehicle of hemispherical decolonization — physically, politically and cognitively.
