These two lithographs were done during a residency at Tamarind Institute. The Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art project, partially funded by grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, was developed to identify and showcase emerging Native American artists who are working with a contemporary vocabulary.

An exhibition comprising two prints by each artist and approximately eight pieces of each artist's work in other media opened at the University of New Mexico Art Museum on September 29, 2006 and is currently traveling to institutions across the country. This exhibition includes a book published by the University of New Mexico Press, edited by Marjorie Devon on the six artists, with color reproductions and essays by Jo Ortel, Lucy Lippard, Kathleen Howe, and Gerald McMaster.

Artists chosen for the residency: Steven Deo (Creek) Tom Jones (Ho Chunk) Larry McNeil (Tlingit/Nisgaa) Ryan Lee Smith (Cherokee) Star Wallowing Bull (Chippewa, White Earth Reservation) Marie Watt (Seneca).
