Sculpture by Native American artist Angela Two Stars will be unveiled Saturday
Twin Cities artist Angela Two Stars bent over a table, balancing a scissors in one hand as she gently tugged at a piece of black plastic.
She slowly peeled it away to reveal a lowercase "n" - part of the word "Wothehinda," which means "love" in the Dakota language - created for a new artwork being unveiled Saturday in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
"Okciyapi (Help Each Other)" was commissioned by Walker Art Center after it came under fire for "Scaffold," a sculpture based in part on the gallows used to hang 38 Dakota men following the U.S.-Dakota War in 1862 - the largest mass execution in American history.
