IPCC is home to more than 20 indoor and outdoor murals by great Pueblo artists, with new ones currently in progress.

"Indian Maiden Feeding Deer"

This mural is a dramatic expression of the Pueblo peoples' gratitude to the deer, historically an important element of their diet. The scene symbolizes the cultural connection to the deer, and maintaining a coexistence with all living things. The figure feeds the deer as a sign of respect and compassion, knowing that in the future the deer may give itself to Pueblo hunters for sustenance.

The Artist
