Blackwing Volume 574: Native American Art Pencils (12-Pack)

Working with Kaw, Osage, Lakota artist Chris Pappan, Blackwing releases its Volume 574 edition of pencils, celebrating geometric patterns found throughout many Native American expressions of culture. According to the company: For centuries, the Indigenous people of North America have preserved their histories through art. As more and more Native Americans were displaced by westward-expanding colonialism, art became a vessel for preserving their culture as well as their history. Their daily lives were recorded through paintings, songs, stories, and dances.Native American art is both functional and beautiful, acting as a bridge to Indigenous cultures and offering a unique perspective on their history. These works enrich the lives of all Americans, providing a window into the world through Indigenous eyes. A portion of the proceeds from this edition will be donated to the Cheyenne River Youth Project and their mission to provide enriching arts programs to Lakota youth on the Cheyenne Ri
