DAWSON COUNTY, NEBRASKA

This land, now known as North America, was stolen from it’s original caretakers in “lawful” moves like the Homestead Act. Once the land is no longer profitable in settler colonial capitalism, it is left to rot.

It is antithetical to say that this is a better use of the land, it is also entirely ego driven to make the argument. This work intends to take a hard look at/show us a mirror to the ways dominant (read, white) culture has ruined the land, destroyed the lives and livelihoods of its original caretakers, and brought suffering to everyone inhabiting what is now known as North America.
