Decolonize is a mural drawn upon an aluminum roll up gate. It's on the E. 7th st. Side.
North America was colonized by English immigrants in the 1600's. Same immigrants expelled the existing native indigenous population living on these lands.
The U.S. after its formation made 370 treaties with native tribes. The majority of these treaties were never honored or quickly broken.
Mural shows a female dressed in black clothing. She has a dark blue headwear. On her attire is an Indian medicine wheel. Wheels represent "the alignment of the physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual realities" of indigenous peoples.(Indigenous website).
The women's right hand is raised & a tight fist is formed. Behind the women a tea pot is boiling. Black smoke is spewing from pot, covering the area surrounding the woman.
At the back of women's right side is a shioulette of people drinking cocktails.
