I visited the Denver Art Museum this afternoon (I am now a member of the DAM, I'll have you know) and spent quite a while looking at the museum's Western and Native American Art. I especially enjoyed the works by the younger Native American artists. A lot of it is fun, but with a serious underlying message. I know the white man stole your land, massacred your people, forced you onto reservations, and destroyed your culture, but surely you're not going to hold that against us, are you? After all, look at all the great art it inspired. No need to thank us, of course.
