Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "When I was younger, I used to think Navajo people weren't known. Until, one day I was at a memorial for our family's veterans. That day I learned about one of my grandpas being Navajo code talkers and their importance during World War ll. So, I started to study and learn about them and that's when I found Chester Nez."
