Trying to rehabilitate patriotism and kindle some optimism in these dark times, Jeffrey Veregge (Port Gamble S’Klallam) uses Coast Salish formline to depict American heroes in science and aviation, like the Air Force's Jacqueline Cochran, astronauts Mae Jemison (the first African American woman in space) and Gordon Cooper, Native aeronaut Mary Riddle, Amelia Earhart, the Tuskegee Airmen, and sound barrier-breaker Chuck Yeager.
