The following article writes about the career and work of multimedia artist Dana Claxton. Claxton being of Hunkpap Lakota descent focuses much of her work around how Indigenous people are represented, and the history of colonialism within cities. After realizing the lack of communication between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities Claxton began to form her practice around developing an Aboriginal voice in such areas as exhibition, education, curation, community based work and arts administration. So whether in the classroom or in the gallery, Claxon's work stands as both a critique and a reinvention of North American history.
