Class Experience

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.

Will Wilson, a Dine photographer used his lens to look at how cultural identity can be an illusion. 

Edward Curtis was an early photographer who came west in the late 1800s with his camera to document the American West and the Indigenous peoples. Known for dressing people up and posing his photographs a Dine person may wear a Crow headdress. His photographs are now being closely investigated for authenticity and historical content. 

David Bradley, Chippewa, paints modern-day scenes in a cartoonish style bringing in recognizable characters and figures, some of whom are remembered for their contributions to South Western art history but are merely imposters in plane sight.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about two Indigenous artists from the United States 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.

Profile
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.
