Years ago I started making road signs as a way to draw attention to our Cahuilla language. The first few signs were installed on my tribe's reservation lands. Since then, I have done road signs in various indigenous languages. I like that they can become "invisible" as most people ignore signs along America's roads and highways. I've abandoned using the English language on more recent versions.

The newer signs are actually manufactured from my designs.
