Artist Nanibah Chacon (left), Diné and Chicana, and her apprentice, Lynnette Haozous (right), spent 10 days painting the Indigenous mural "Connected Pathways," (below), in Tulsa, Oklahoma next to the Indian Health Care Resource Center.
"I wanted to paint what I missed - inclusivity, community, rituals, gathering, interaction, ceremonies, powwows, even just being out, walking somewhere. The idea of walking and powwows turned to women in Tulsa who would send me their moccasins to use in my design." She collaborated with Post Traditional Collective PostTraditional Indigenous Arts which supplied its moccasins and leggings for reference.
"An important element to this mural was that each moccasin design was inspired by an actual pair owned by women in Tulsa," she said. "For me, this is the element of this work that is most essential. Connecting with community on concepts and ideas, but also physically so they are reflected in the work.”
Indigenous peoples often find it difficult to access appropriate mainstream primary health care services. Securing access to primary health care services requires more than just services that are situated within easy reach. Ensuring the accessibility of health care for Indigenous peoples who are often faced with a vast array of additional barriers including experiences of discrimination and racism, can be complex (Source:https://bit.ly/3lcknLE; "Access to primary health care services for Indigenous peoples: A framework synthesis," 2016).
Nanibah's mural not only serves as art for the public. She says,"...the representation (mural) was glad to be seen, finally, in Tulsa." Read more: https://bit.ly/2VgADAk
