On the left is a paiinting that was done based on a warning of the future. The complete loss of our identity over a single generation. However some things have changed for the better such as the re ermergance of our original language. Laws effecting our Identity continues to be a problem. Absurd laws intending to do one thing but actually having the opposite effect are actually accelerating the dininshment of our population.. Better minds need to prevail.
