A painting by artist Peter Jemison

A painting depicting a simplified map of the United States where the landmass is outlined but the interior state lines are unmarked. The righthand side of the map, indicating the eastern portion of the country, is covered with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The lefthand side of the map, indicating the western half of the country, is covered with a textured, sienna background with the words “ALL INDIAN” written in bold white capital letters. The two halves are split by a brown strip indicating the Mississippi River.
