The stories, poetry, music and artwork of Native people reflect the influence of their ancestors and are the expression of present perceptions.
In the last twenty years the Native influence in theater, music, story-telling and their art has risen to high demand around the world. American Indians have risen above the conditions deposited in their lives though five hundred years of occupation to once again occupy a high place visible to the world.
