The students designed this angel as a collage of Native American creation stories from more than one hundred different tribes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting in 1956, federal policies pushed Native families to leave tribal reservations and rural areas and move to cities like L.A. By 1970, L.A. had become home to the largest and most diverse Native American population in the nation. These waves of Native migration created a community dispersed across L.A. and led to new forms of pan-Indian identity and activism.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n    \n      <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Sculpture, <i>The Creator<\/i>, 2002.
