Contemporary Native American artists explore biodiversity and language diversity through their work. "There is a direct relationship between the loss of cultural diversity and the loss of biodiversity. Whoever Indigenous peoples still remain, there is also a corresponding enclave of biodiversity." -Winona LaDuke
