Concho Indian School

Much of the beautiful art has been defaced and some has been replaced with graffiti or it has been added over it.
Vandals have done much damage and thieves have ripped out the walls to strip out the wiring.
I have learned that these paintings were done from some contemporary photographic portraits.
It is said to be the most haunted place in Oklahoma.
For me it was a place of terrible beauty.
I came away in awe and very unsettled.

Dommage que des gens dégradent ces lieux car ils racontent une histoire.
Heureusement la photo fixe cet instant et faire que l’on s’en souvienne.

Definitely a haunting experience to see it this way.

It looks unsettling. Haunted by the injustices of the past. Very well presented. V

What will society look like in another 50 years, I know the last half century has shifted so much from what we called normal. :(

I can relate to your feelings. I find that vandalism when finding the culprit should face a severe punishment. Particularly in this hallowed place

Haunting portraits, well captured. Thought-provoking narrative as well. V.
