The importance of ceremony and cultural tradition are vital elements of Native life. The UI5 paintings, prints, photographs, baskets and sculptures educate people about a healthier past. The collaboration between modern medicine and ancient teachings interpreted through contemporary art is forging a unique relationship to reestablish a state of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness in indigenous people. What Others Are Saying “The art that indigenous artists produce is about strengthening internal dialogues amongst indigenous peoples around the world. It is absolutely much more than something externalized hanging on a wall, and very much about the fundamentals of human well being.” Sarah de Leeuw, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, University of Northern British Columbia I Said I Would Never Paint This Way Again documentary “The different art by the Urban Indian 5 has just enriched our program, and we have seen personal healing. The spirit of the art being here is so beneficial. I hope the artists can see how much they have helped people just by having the art here.” D.J.
