Earlier this week I saw photos of a city bus with "WE ARE ON DAKOTA LAND" written on it. It was more than the words, though. I recognized the art right away. It is by Marlena Myles, who has illustrated several children's books: the cover for Indian No More and the illustrations in Thanku: Poems of Gratitude. She's also created stunning maps, murals, and a Dakota Spirit Walk that is an augmented reality public art installation. She is Spirit Lake Dakota. Here's the photos she shared, of the bus:
If you're in St Paul, look for her murals and where ever you are, download the maps from her site and read the books she's illustrated!
