My first commercial oil painting for the Navajo Fair. I collected 70-80 images to make one piece of art. It was during the 1989 Navajo Nation riots, I walked the president's office to have one the political faction erupt front the barricades to invetsigate what I was doing walking around the NN office complexes.

​

In the end we became friends and I actually took pictures of them, the black hat belonged to one of the people in the group.

​

The painting has stood the test of time in terms of concept and storytelling.
