The new comic book project continues a long history of using art to tell stories within Native American communities
For many centuries, the story of Indigenous history and culture was told through an academic lens by non-Native researchers and writers. But an upcoming comic book project seeks to share authentic narratives from San Diego’s Kumeyaay community in a new medium.
The group is collaborating with National Museum of the American Indian program manager and curator Jen Shannon, archaeologist and comics creator John Swogger and Jewyl Alderson from the San Diego County Office of Education innovation division. “California is such a great example of not only historical distortion, but of marketing and branding,” he said. “In the 1890s, when they came in and invented this fictional history, the missions had been defeated.
“My whole life, I knew powwow culture, but I knew very little about peon,” Banegas said. “It wasn’t until 2007 that our gatherings returned, and this momentous event provides the setting for our comic book, where the audience will learn our traditional game of chance called peon.”
