Art: ‘estom yanim
Artist: Lori Lachman
Collection: VTA 2021: Destruction of Land | Destruction of People
Art Description: This sunset photo exemplifies another aspect of this year’s theme, Destruction of the Land | Destruction of the People. ‘estom yanim is the place all life comes from and where the Nisenan go when they die, before finishing the journey in the Milky Way. The most Sacred of places has been privately owned since the 1850s and remains inaccessible to the Nisenan people.
This is a prime example of the ongoing destruction of Culture, experience by the Nisenan. Regardless of continued efforts toward Cultural revitalization the inability to access this Sacred place and the inability to burn the dead stand as firm physical deterrents to our people and our Culture.
