This powerful painting by David Kanietakeron Fadden, reflects the pain, fear and sadness native children were forced to endure by U.S. and Canadian government residential schools for decades. As the timeline moves forward, we see the inner strength and color of life, return in the children’s smiling faces as their culture prevails despite the efforts of the foreign governments.

“Iahkonkwe, Woman Kind” is a piece created by John Kahionhes Fadden. A Haudenosaunee woman superimposed, represents our mother, planet earth. In her right hand, corn, one of the sustainers, the three sisters. In her left hand, deer antlers, a symbol of chieftainship along with wampum strings, gives women the authority to nominate the chiefs. The fetus represents future generations following the clan of the mother.
