Vanished Culture

This mask represents and honors all the beautiful, unique tribes and cultures that have been destroyed from the conquest of greedy European countries including; Spain, France, England, Ireland, the Dutch, Russians and all European outsiders and not to leave out the cold Americans who for some bogus reason believe that by some “manifest destiny” all these unique tribes had to be relocated. We can never forget about the brutal and harsh treatment that the Cherokee and other tribes had to endure on the Trail of Tears when President Jefferson used the army to forcefully remove all the tribes west of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, this shameful behavior of all nations still exists today.
