Son of Land O’Lakes artist defends Native American father’s work: Removed design was
‘never a stereotype’ | Washington Examiner

“My Native American father drew the Land O’Lakes maiden. She was never a stereotype,” a Washington Post opinion headline read this week. The opinion article contained Robert DesJarlait’s defense of his father, [ground-breaking] artist Patrick DesJarlait...

The artist (r) at Campbell Mithun Ad Agency, Minneapolis, 1954

"My father had been interested in art since boyhood, when he drew images related to his Ojibwe culture. After leaving Pipestone boarding school in Minnesota in 1942, he joined the Navy and was assigned to San Diego, where he worked alongside animation artists from MGM and Walt Disney producing brochures and films for the war effort. In 1946, he established himself as one of the first modernists in American Indian fine art."

Ojibwe Indian woman and two girls with loaded canoe heading for blueberry camp, Roland Reed, 1920.

"The Bible tells us in the Last Days that God will pour out His Spirit and there will be great supernatural signs, wonders, miracles and healings. God needs a people that have qualities that American Indians are born with to fulfill this prophecy. American Indians are seers. We are supernaturally-minded, forgiving, giving and humble people. These qualities and others are qualities God needs to flow through American Indians and like-minded people for the Last Day's anointing of God"--Christian Minister Mel Bond, 10th grandson of Pocahontas

“With the redesign, my father made Mia’s Native American connections more specific,” he wrote. “He changed the beadwork designs on her dress by adding floral motifs that are common in Ojibwe art. He added two points of wooded shoreline to the lake that had often been depicted in the image’s background. It was a place any Red Lake tribal citizen would recognize as the Narrows, where Lower Red Lake and Upper Red Lake meet. …Maybe that’s why many Native American women on social media have made it clear that they didn’t agree with those who viewed her as a romanticized and/or sexually objectified stereotype. Instead, Mia seems to have stirred a sense of remembrance and place, one that they found reassuring about their existence as Native American women. 

“They Got Rid of The Indian and Kept the Land.” That isn’t too far from the truth.”.......

Airbrushing a ground-breaking Native American artist from society is progress now? Because it feels like the opposite.
