| dc.description | Comic books imagine fantastical worlds, filled with super powered beings fighting for good and evil. Native representation has always been underrepresented in those worlds. Early books would show Indigenous people as aggressors of westward American expansion, savage “red” men who killed and pillaged. Time went on and lazy stereotypes of kindly, vaguely mystical, magicians took hold. Somewhere in the multi verse Native voices dominate the popular culture, I hope it looks like this. Artist Biography: Erick Krigsvold is a Pamunkey citizen, artist, and culture bearer based in Richmond, VA. He uses his artwork to tell visual stories of Native Americans, with a particular focus on Virginia tribes and culture. Erick combines digital drawing with traditional techniques like screen printing. He also speaks with students and schools about Virginia Native history and culture, using his website and social media to promote tribal education and awareness. Erick advocates for Indigenous education through art at the Pamunkey Museum, Pow Wows, and other artist markets in Virginia. His work aims to elevate the underrepresented Native American voice in Virginia and preserve the rich stories of Virginia’s Indigenous Peoples. | en |
