'Dumb Indian' and other slurs used to combat racism in provocative campaign - Calgary - CBC News

'Shaw, who is Cree, says her children are darker-skinned than she is and they have experienced racism in Lethbridge. '

'These harsh slurs emblazoned over portraits of Indigenous people are part of an in-your-face art project meant to challenge racist attitudes in Lethbridge, Alta. '

'Sheila Shaw, who is studying for a fine arts degree at the University of Lethbridge, also posed for the portraits. '

'"Growing up in the city, I experienced a lot of racism," said Joel Cross Child, president of INNII, the Indigenous artists-run organization that commissioned the project. '

'She says part of her motivation was help teach her 10-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son that racism can be confronted. '
