Scenarios about 'indigenous art'

Indigenous art encompasses the visual expressions, techniques, and cultural practices created by First Nations, Aboriginal, and other native peoples across the world. These artistic traditions often reflect deep spiritual connections to land, ancestral knowledge, and community values through distinctive styles, materials, and symbolism specific to each culture. Indigenous art serves as both cultural preservation and contemporary expression, offering insights into alternative historical narratives and perspectives often marginalized in dominant historical accounts.
