Nez Perce National Historical Park

Painting
By Nakia Williamson
1992
Nez Perce National Historical Park holds a small but growing collection of contemporary works by Nez Perce artists. The paintings reflect the continuum of an artistic tradition that reaches far back in time. A young Nakia Williamson Cloud painted this portrait using acrylic on a commercial canvas at sixteen. While created using a non-traditional medium, the work reflects a deep understanding of his material culture, and the power of the spirit which binds tribal people together.
