Electric Touch
“Electric Touch”, Atsei Cooper 6/19/2024
Lightning is a powerful motif in southeastern Indigenous cosmology and ceremony. The border design was found on grave goods in Alabama, as seen in the book “Sun Circles and Human Hands: The Southeastern Indians – Art and Industry”. Burial objects should never be removed from whom they were buried with, and graves should never be disturbed. Archaeology has historically been deeply harmful to North American Indigenous communities. Many of my works are inspired by looted materials from Indigenous sites so I may bring attention to rematriation efforts through the hard work of Indigenous culture keepers who use the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
