Yazzie and "An American Holocaust"

Almost a year's work culminated at the end of June 2000 when Arizona's Native American community gathered at the Heard Museum in Phoenix to dedicate a major work commemorating their tumultuous and traumatic history. Created by Millennium Artist Steven Yazzie, the work - an 8-foot by 160-foot mural titled "An American Holocaust" - is the result of months of research, consultation, and interviews with tribal elders and other community members.
