It encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, and jewelry, and expresses the unique cultural identity, history, and worldview of each Indigenous community. Indigenous Art is often deeply connected to the land, the environment, and the spiritual beliefs of the artists who create it.
