This poster was designed around the time that neoliberalism was gaining cultural momentum throughout the United States. This school of thought posits that capitalism and the overall economy will thrive only through free-market policies involving minimal government intervention and regulation. Such systems stand in opposition to most Indigenous ways of life, prioritizing extraction and consumption over shared resources and respect for the natural world. Cyrus Dallin’s 1890 bronze sculpture, A Signal of Peace, located in Lincoln Park in Chicago, stands at the center of the image. The Native rider raises what Dallin called “a peace offering.” Designed by the artist after he had seen Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in Paris, the sculpture embodies a colonial view of “the noble savage.” In spite of the fact that contemporary observers have condemned it for perpetuating harmful stereotypes, the statue still stands in Chicago today. The photograph in this poster is not a composite image but a document of creative vandalism undertaken by Michael Mulloch in 1971. Rather than presenting a peace offering, the Native warrior skewers a shopping cart, holding it aloft as representative of both the American worship of consumerism and of Indigenous rejection of the capitalist systems that engender it. This gesture is underscored by the accompanying quote from Vine Deloria, Jr., a Standing Rock Lakota intellectual and the author of Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto (1969) and God Is Red: A Native View of Religion (1973).
