Native American and Indigenous peoples have been making decisions about form, function, communication and meaning for millennia--and the canon has looked right through them. Mythmakers and marketing teams have long used graphic design to tell stories about Native Americans, First Nations, Métis, Alaska Natives and other Indigenous peoples rather than with them, creating reductive and harmful representations of a living, vibrant and varied group of people.\u003cbr\u003eYet Native graphic art has a rich history that shows that its practitioners are innovators who have created dynamic, subversive and optimistic work. Modern graphic expressions such as posters, digital fonts and even stenciled cars intertwine with traditional Indigenous pottery, weavings and paintings. Through examples spanning nearly two centuries and representing over 80 tribes and nations, \u003ci\u003eDesigned to Be Red\u003c\/i\u003e reveals and celebrates design histories that have always existed alongside, despite and in resistance to dominant colonial narratives, illustrating the full spectrum of Native life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtists include: \u003c\/b\u003e Neal Ambrose-Smith (Flathead Salish, Métis and Cree), Crystal Worl (Tlingit\/Deg Hit'an Athabascan), Terran Last Gun (Piikani), Marie Watt (Turtle Clan, Seneca Nation of Indians, Haudenosaunee Confederacy), Melissa Cody (Diné).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636812112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636812113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delmonico Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Brian Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801378435327,"sku":"9781636812113","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/designed-to-be-red-brian-johnson-9781636812113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
