Missionary
This piece reflects the interface of indigienous culture and the Christian Faith as brought to the new world by missionaries. Indian people received the teachings of Christ and integrated them into their universal view of the cosmos. The monk's robes double as rockwalls made sacred with petroglyphs. The monk's torso is adorned with Kokopeli, the flute player blessing the Corn Mother and a Yakut shamanic symbol of transformation.
