In my thesis, I argue that art is one way Indigenous peoples keep our laws alive in the world. The purpose of my thesis is to show the underlying connections between the role of the artist and the practice of art and the laws by which we seek to live. I draw on contemporary Indigenous art to illustrate some of those roles and responsibilities. As we share our art, our knowledge between Indigenous peoples, we are strengthening our peoples to resist the powerful effects of colonialism. At the same time we are communicating powerful law by building opportunities for future generations to live together in peace, friendship and respect.
