Yessssss! I am a half breed. Half Odawa (Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians, of the Anishinaabe) and half other stuff. (Bohemian/Jewish/German, my grandfather came here when he fled during WWII.) I really dig IAIA. I’ve attended two other private art schools prior (Parsons New School University and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and have more great things to say about our tiny campus. The teachers care, classes are small, facilities are excellent…and it’s pretty cool to meet so many other kinds of Natives and to have a dialogue about what it means to be a modern Native American artist. No where else like it in the world, that much I can say for sure. (Sorry I know that I could have answered that with just one word.) ;)
