Douglas Miles - San Carlos Apache/Akimel
O’odham graphic artist, Douglas Miles, connects
the universality of mainstream’s skateboard
culture to today’s Indian youth. His Graphic
imagery of Apache warriors and contemporary
“Rez” portraits brings a Native aesthetic and
sensibility to the skateboard culture. The Apache
skateboards break through a seemingly closed
mainstream boundary, reasserting and affirming
Indian youth’s presence in the mainstream culture
of today. Douglas has recently shown his work at
mainstream boundary, reasserting and affirming
Princeton University and The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.
