"Broken Promises"

I went to Fort Apache, Arizona with this torn American Flag. I was on a mission to find a Native American in which to drape with the flag and take this portrait. The history of how the "West Was Won" has always amazed me. In the end we basically destroyed their culture, took their land and introduced them to alcohol.

This is Ralph; he is an Apache Native American. I found Ralph walking on Route 73, 3 miles outside of Fort Apache, Arizona.

I call this portrait "Broken Promises"
