The Medicine Rock Print
Artist: Lori Lachman
Collection: VTA 2022: Perspectives on Erasure
Art Description: The medicine rock is an important tool for Nisenan healers. We have used the white Egret to symbolically represent the white feather that assisted in identifying a place of sickness in the body. Many tools used by healers no longer exist inside the Tribal families and many of the materials needed to create the tools are inaccessible or completely gone from the landscape. Western medicine continues to be ineffective in the Nisenan Tribal community. If we can heal the land, we will heal the people.
