Soft medium, hard truths - National Endowment for the Arts recognizes a Navajo quilter
Briefly

"Standing Strong In The Face of Genocide" tells the harrowing story of Native American children's experiences in federally-supported boarding schools, highlighting their cultural erasure and suffering.
Hudson’s quilt depicts the execution-style killing of a Native American boy, showing how art can amplify the narrative of historical tragedies that are often overlooked.
The quilt's four panels use imagery akin to a graphic novel, illustrating the pain and cruelty faced by Indigenous children while simultaneously honoring their resilience.
Through her artwork, Hudson contributes to the ongoing discussions and investigations into the historical injustices stemming from the federal Indian boarding school policies.
