In’zhúje’waxóbe, Kylie Mehojah

Haskell Indian Nations Student and Kaw citizen Kylie Mehojah created this ledger artwork and wrote, “In my sketch of The Sacred Red Rock, you will find a circle shaded at the top of the paper, it represents my great-grandfather, William A. Mehojah, given the name Mikák’ehinga, translating to Little Star.” The artwork features both the Grandfather Rock and her biological great-grandfather, showing the important relationships between human and non-human relatives and highlighting cultural continuity across generations despite governmental policies to eradicate and assimilate Native people.
