    Let's get this out of the way: "cyberskins" are technologically wired powwow garments that draw from traditional and high tech cultures. Says artist Bently Spang: "The term "redskin", as Native peoples on this continent were called at one time (and which certain sports teams continue to use), emerges from a time in this country when one could collect a bounty for the skin of a dead Native person. Cyberskins, in direct contrast to this brutal act, is the act of creating a new skin. Cyberskins are technologically advanced exteriors that draw inspiration from current powwow regalia, traditional information and high tech culture to form an impenetrable shield. They are designed specifically to meet the demands of today's Native American Indian Aboriginal Indigenous Native person, as they continue to morph and grow."
