Battles fought with art

May I Suggest ... 'Visions for the Future: A Celebration of Young Native American Artists, Vol. I,' by the Native American Rights FundThe artistic and political heirs to Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon have been found by the Native American Rights Fund and collected into the book "Visions for the Future: A Celebration of Young Native American Artists, Volume I."

This catalog is a compilation of work that was displayed for NARF's inaugural Visions for the Future art show in Boulder, Colo., in November 2006, and contains statements from each artist featured within the catalog.

Each of the Native artists, ranging in age from 18 to 35, reflects the mission of NARF, which is to "focus on the modern-day battles and issues of importance to today's Native Americans and the generations to come."

This catalog blends the weapons of these "modern-day battles" for these artists, which uses not only art, but also hip-hop music to express viability for these issues for both Native and non-Native audiences.
