For Indian Land Dancing, CPAG artists Tracy Van Duinen, Todd Osborne, and Cynthia Weiss worked closely with several American Indian tribes to create a shared vision that celebrates the importance of family, community, and the value of knowing one's culture and history in our contemporary world. None of this would have been possible without the leadership of Alderman Smith, who initiated the project and was a dynamic force in making this vision a reality. Take a look under Lake Shore Drive at Foster Avenue to see how an ordinary underpass has become an inspirational drive-through gallery.
