Exhibit pays tribute to Native Veterans

PABLO - "What do they think when they look at the flag?" Vietnam veteran and the Director of the Tribal Culture Committee Tony Incashola asked. "The red, white and blue; the eagle staff? I see our ancestors. When I look at the red, white and blue, I see the faces of my brothers and my relatives and all those who I served with and who lost their lives. It's not just a flag. It means much more. Remembering the fear...I remember the cold. All that our great ancestors went through, so we may have what we have today. It's not just a piece of cloth, you're looking at people. You're looking at cultures."
