Reciprocal Relations speaks of the power our relationships hold and the value and respect we have for our past, present, and future ancestors. As contemporary representations of the Women from the Oceti Shakowin Oyate (People of the Seven Council Fires, colonially known as the Sioux Nation), Jaida Grey Eagle and Mikayla Patton’s work is rooted with a sense of resistance and survival, sharing histories that counter the many inauthentic narratives that abound. Upholding sustainability and embracing materials revered by past generations, every piece is a modern interpretation of Indigenous culture, a story told by a powerful voice that instructs us to listen and to learn.
