Native Lofi Girl (digital, 2020) by Monique Castillo
"Native Lofi Girl" is specifically drawn to be Navajo and is wearing turquoise jewelry (earrings, necklace and ring). Her background is similar to the canyons of Monument Valley, AZ.
A kachina doll amongst the items on her desk. Kachina dolls are hand-crafted figurines (made by the Hopi people) that represent spiritual beings that bring messages, rain and good health.
Her bookshelf is filled with novels with Indigenous protagonists: Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse, Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, and Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson.
