Artist's Statement
"This comic focuses mainly on the Campo Kumeyaay restoration project. This project’s goal was to restore a creek on their reservation that had been damaged due to past cattle grazing. My reason for choosing this topic was because I was very curious about how Native American tribes were restoring and preserving their land, even after their land had been taken over or destroyed. I read about one tribe that restored a canyon that was affected by a brush fire, setting an example for others to follow and bringing back species that once lived in the area. My comic starts out with a wide view of the type of environment that the Kumeyaay live in, a dry landscape with few water resources and different varieties of plant species."
