Native Americans, Indigenous Peoples, Indians. These terms we've applied to those who connect ancestrally to the Americas since before 1492. These people have been attacked, beaten, killed, forced on to specifically inhospitable land, we stripped of their culture, and yet they persevere. During the 1950s-and 1960s civil rights movements, they fought alongside African, Asian, and Latino American's for recognition as a group of people. Students will learn about some of the Indigenous artists creating in the 20th and 21st centuries. Through a combination of lecture and discussion, students will learn about these artists, see some of their art, and practice looking for symbols and details. In many Indigenous stories, there is a trickster character. Usually an animal-human hybrid with physical features of the animal but human qualities like voice and free will. Coyote and Crow are common trickster characters across many Indigenous cultures. Julie Buffalohead, Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, uses the trickster to explore her own identity in a culture scared by historical trauma. Harry Fonseca, Maidu, Hawaiian, and Portuguese, brought the Coyote trickster of his heritage into the modern world with his companion Rosie as they explored their place in the world.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about eight Indigenous artists from the United States and Canada who are changing how the world recognizes Indigenous Artists today. They concur topics like identity, history, trauma, and futurism through mixed media and painting. Students will see these inspirations and will be allowed to ask questions about meaning. They will be encouraged to look at the surface of these very deep ideas recognizing them but not going into depth.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have three bachelor's degrees one being in Indigenous Studies. I have worked closely with the Northern Arapaho people with language revitalization. I am an Arapaho speaker and will always speak respectfully of the Indigenous cultures around the world. I graduated in 2019 with a BA in Art History where my concentration was Indigenous Art History. I did major research on a number of Indigenous artifacts in local museums, and on artists across North America. My master's thesis was on David Bradley and I have done papers on T.C. Cannon, Red Star, and Belmore.
