Description
The birds are painted in both a southwestern Indian and an Alaskan Indian setting, illustrating how the crow and raven are intertwined in these cultures. On the southwestern side, a crow and Indian dance with a nest of corn and crows’ eggs in the center. On the Alaskan side, a totem pole and stone sculptures represent the crow. This mural was the third commissioned under the Adopt an Underpass program.
