Experience works by Native artists around the Museum, like pieces by David Paul Bradley (Minnesota Chippewa) and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes) in the newly opened “Power of the People: Art and Democracy.” In “Beyond Brilliance,” don’t miss a cuff by Angie Reano Owen (Kewa), featuring the Pueblo stone-on-shell inlay technique. In Art of the Americas, Level 3, see drawings by Truman Lowe (Ho-Chunk [Winnebago]) and a gallery of Southwest Native art from the 19th century to today. Check out a Northern Arapaho dress and a Métis jacket on Level 2. Then, on Level LG, view a sculpture by Rose B. Simpson (Kha-’Po Owingeh [Santa Clara Pueblo]) in an exhibition opening November 16, and explore textiles, furniture, ceramics, and more in our Native North American Art gallery.
