DIRECTOR'S LETTER Dear Heard Museum Members: I’ve attended Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market over the years, but it wasn’t until I participated as the Director and CEO in 2016 that I fully appreciated the vast effort required to transform the Heard’s eight-acre campus into a sea of white tents filled with artists representing tribes from across North America offering dazzling jewelry, intricate baskets, detailed pots, colorful paintings and every other kind of art imaginable from traditional to contemporary.

This year we have much to be proud of in presenting the 60th edition of one the largest American Indian events in the United States, and the largest annual event at the Museum.

The Fair has been a labor of love for the Guild since its inception, and continues to flourish under the creative inspiration, managerial skills, thoughtful leadership, and hard work of hundreds of volunteers. In honor of the 60th anniversary, the Guild is endeavoring to raise $60,000 to award to winners of the juried art competition. Additionally, the Guild typically donates over $100,000 of Fair proceeds to support the mission and programs of the Heard Museum.

In conjunction with the Fair, we are excited to present a commemorative exhibition in the Kitchell Gallery entitled Artistic Excellence: The Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market Celebrates 60 Years. We are hope you will join us for the Members' Opening Reception on January 12, 2018. I look forward to seeing you there.

One of my goals as Director is to continue nurturing this spectacular tradition, so as to ensure another 60 years of the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market. We hope your experience at the Fair gives you a greater understanding of and affinity for contemporary Indigenous arts and culture. I extend my deepest appreciation to the Museum Guild and all of you for making the Indian Fair & Market a success, and for your ongoing commitment to the Heard Museum.

Celebrating Artistic Excellence The Heard Museum Guild 60th Indian Fair & Market

ANNA FLYNN, MARKETING CHAIR, HEARD MUSEUM GUILD INDIAN FAIR & MARKET

The Heard Museum Guild is proudly celebrating the 60th Indian Fair & Market on March 3 and 4, 2018. The celebration kicks off in January with two special events: a Members’ Opening Reception and preview of the exhibition Artistic Excellence: The Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market Celebrates 60 Years; and the January Guild Meeting, with presentations about the exhibition by members of the curatorial staff and the Director’s vision for the museum for the next 60 years. February brings the Prepare for the Fair Lecture Series, with presentations and art by three amazing families and a special Saturday session about living with Native art. The Best of Show Reception on March 2 is our chance to celebrate the art and honor the artists who are ribbon winners in the juried art competition. The Fair opens early Saturday for members only and ends Sunday afternoon with a rousing closing ceremony on the grassy amphitheatre.

FAIR CHAIR'S LETTER Dear Heard Museum Members: On behalf of the Heard Museum Guild, I cordially invite you to join us at the 60th Annual Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market on March 3 and 4 and at other celebratory events leading up to the Fair, including the Best of Show Reception on March 2.

In honor of the 60th Annual Indian Fair & Market, we are delighted to announce a one-time, special $10,000 Best of Show Award sponsored by Howard R. & Joy M. Berlin and Kristine & Leland W. Peterson. Peterson is Treasurer of the Heard Museum Board of Trustees and Berlin is a Life Trustee of the Heard Museum. The Guild thanks the Berlins and Petersons for their generous support of the Indian Fair & Market and our outstanding artists.

For the Guild and the artists, the juried competition is one of the most important aspects of the Fair. Each year, many of our Fair artists submit their best work in hopes of winning a coveted ribbon and prize money. A renowned group of judges, composed of artists, collectors, and museum professionals, reviews and rates each submitted piece.

In September 1974, a new top award of $500—Best of Show—was given at the Guild’s Arts & Crafts Exhibit. According to the October 1974 Guild Newsletter, members were asked to “…toss all spare change (and bills too, of course) into Awards Chairman Mary Guilford’s glass fish bowl. It will appear at all functions and be a permanent figurehead on the Information Desk.” We’ve come a long way to this year’s ambitious fundraising goal of $60,000 and the one-time $10,000 Best of Show Award. Your generous donation supports the artists’ careers and boosts their reputations.

Join us for the Best of Show Reception on Friday evening, March 2 to celebrate the art and honor the artists who are ribbon winners in the 2018 juried art competition. You’ll also enjoy a fashion show featuring designs by Fair artists as well as hors d’oeuvres, dessert and a nohost bar all set in the historical Heard Museum courtyard.

On behalf of the participating artists, and all who work to support the Fair, I sincerely thank you for your continued support.

1. GLITZ, GLAMOUR, IT’S THE GAUSSOINS

Thursday, Feb. 1 The Gaussoin Family, accomplished jewelers and artists, are descended from Navajo silversmiths and weavers, Picuris Pueblo potters, as well as singers and sculptors. Connie Tsosie Gaussoin; her sons Lt. Col. Jerry E. Gaussoin Jr. and David and Wayne Nez; her daughter Tazbah; and granddaughter (daughter of Jerry) Kehasbah.

Connie was a trailblazer for women in metalsmithing in the late 1960s. She explores new possibilities of form, materials and expression based on personal experiences, including worldwide travel, that have provided opportunities to view and interact with people of other cultures and artistic abilities. Jerry Jr., a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army, remains closely influenced by traditional Navajo and Pueblo silversmithing designs, though his experiences in Germany and during tours of duty in Kosovo and Iraq also influence his art.

Jerry’s daughter Kehasbah will model some of the family’s jewelry.

Wayne Nez works in a variety of media, including monumental sculpture, using unconventional materials like aluminum and found objects like steel mechanical parts in his jewelry and fashion design. David Nez expresses his innovative spirit through his use of new materials and forms. His recent fashion creations, including his head-to-toe statement of sustainability, encompass the entire body. Tazbah is a weaver and has also collaborated with David on fashion designs, frequently modeling the resulting apparel for publicity photographs.

Thursday, Feb. 8

Thursday, Feb. 22

The Folwells are Santa Clara Pueblo pottery makers: Jody Folwell, daughters Susan and Polly Rose, and granddaughter Kaa (Polly’s daughter).

This talented family includes Pat Pruitt, Marla Allison and Chris Pruitt.

Jody Folwell is an eighth-generation Pueblo potter who is recognized as one of the finest modernist Pueblo potters.

She uses traditional methods along with traditional and contemporary ceramics. While her art often touches on politics and social issues, it can also be playful and experimental using stylized designs, different clay colors and the addition of acrylic colors. Susan uses traditional clay and firing techniques and is inspired by traditional designs.

She experiments with techniques, clays, designs and forms to create compositions with symbols from many Indian cultures, resulting in work that has global appeal. Polly Rose has created a variety of traditional and contemporary pieces of pottery over the years. She has won numerous awards for her work at Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market and Gallup Ceremonials. Kaa learned to make pottery from her mother Polly and grandmother Jody.

Her innovative pottery is inspired by graphic and graffiti art.

Through her art she investigates what it is to be an Indigenous woman in the 21st century.

EARTHSONG

Pat Pruitt (Laguna Pueblo/Chiricahua Apache/Anglo) combines his knowledge of traditional silversmithing, a degree in mechanical engineering and knowledge of stainlesssteel machining to create a distinctive style of stainless-steel jewelry that challenges notions of what Native American jewelry is. Pat won 2017 overall Best of Show at Santa Fe Indian Market for his contemporary sculpture Sentinel v1.0. Pat is the husband of Marla Allison, a contemporary painter from Laguna Pueblo. Marla is known for her vivid paintings that depict the landscapes, wildlife, architecture and particularly the people of her native New Mexico, as well as for experimenting with geometric patterns to depict living forms. Her paintings are based on the contemporary, which borrows from the past. Chris Pruitt (Laguna Pueblo/ Chiricahua Apache), Pat’s brother, lives in his boyhood village, Paguate, in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico. His jewelry represents a contemporary style of silversmithing with a traditional touch. His techniques include fabricating, brazing, texturing, polishing, and cutting and inlay of precious and semi-precious stones and wood.

All-Indian jury at Arts and Crafts Exhibit in 1972 Billie Jane Baguley Library and Archives

HISTORY OF THE FAIR The Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair, as it was known when it began 60 years ago, provided American Indian artists a place to display and sell their work and for Phoenix-area families to meet the artists and learn about American Indian art and culture. In 1991, the Heard Museum Guild created an event that would be held the Friday night preceding Fair weekend. Named the Best of Show event, it is an opportunity for artists selected for the Fair to receive special recognition through a juried competition with cash awards. It is an important and needed successor to the juried Heard Museum Guild Arts and Crafts Show, which ended in fall 1984.

While much has changed, much has stayed the same. Hospitality is still the byword for the Fair. Each day, more than 300 volunteers work behind the scenes to execute the plans laid months earlier to ensure that the artists’ and guests’ experiences are memorable. The proceeds from the Fair still support the mission and programs of the Heard. Guild members are especially proud of the donations raised for ribbon winners in the juried art competition. This year’s goal is $60,000, in honor of the 60th Annual Fair.

A long-standing nationally recognized event, the Fair is the second-largest market of its kind in the country. It attracts more than 10,000 guests and has become a gathering place for art lovers and the community to celebrate and learn about Native art and culture. The Fair features more than 600 artists from American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and Canadian First Nations. The artists are well established and emerging, acclaimed and yet-to-bediscovered, old and young, female and male. Ten categories of art are represented: baskets, beadwork & quillwork, diverse artworks, jewelry & lapidary, paintings-drawings-graphics-photography, personal attire, pottery, Pueblo carvings, sculpture and weavings & textiles.

The Heard Museum Guild cordially invites you to join us in celebrating 60 years of artistic excellence. Come walk with us…

You can see, feel and hear the generations.

Student Art Show & Sale returns JANE PRZESLICA, STUDENT ART COORDINATOR, HEARD MUSEUM GUILD

The Heard Museum Guild invites you to support emerging artists

by attending the 32nd Annual American Indian Student Art Show

& Sale (SASS)! The event features the artwork of American Indian students in grades 7-12 from communities across the United States.

In 2017, over 350 artists participated in the SASS, entering over

500 pieces of original artwork. There is no better way to support

tomorrow’s master artists than by supporting today’s student artists.

As part of the weekend event, students will participate in a

juried competition and have the opportunity to earn ribbons

and cash awards. Artwork is judged by a panel of art scholars,

including professional artists, college professors, curators, and

collectors. Ribbons are awarded in two divisions and 13 art

categories, in addition to Best of Show, Best of Division, and

other special ribbons. On average, SASS distributes more than $4,000 to ribbon winners annually.

All student artwork will be for sale during the SASS and

student artists are often available to discuss their work. Imagine your newly purchased art signed in front of you! What a great

photo opportunity!

Why wait until the SASS to support American Indian student artists?

Symmetry in stone Work by one of the Southwest's top jewelers comes to the Heard Diana F.

Chavez opens at the Heard Museum on Feb. 2.

Since his early years of jewelry design and execution, Chavez has continued to painstakingly make each item by hand. An artist who enjoys designing, Chavez places an emphasis on stone selection, placement and presentation. Now, some 40 years since he first tried to solder metals, Chavez has become one of the Southwest’s leading jewelers, whose works are recognized for their complex inlay, architectural sensibilities and striking color patterning.

Richard Chavez (San Felipe Pueblo, b. 1949) studied architecture at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and worked as an architectural draftsman at the firm of Harvey S. Hoshour. One of the projects he assisted with was the design for the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque.

In the 1970s, Chavez taught himself jewelry-making through diligence and trial and error. Initially he cut and shaped shells into heishi, but he stopped due to the influx of Asian shell beads. He entered his first competition, the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show, in 1976. Winning the grand prize for a white mother-of-pearl necklace, ring and bracelet set sparked Chavez’s jewelrymaking career.

When Chavez’s career shifted from architecture to jewelry design and fabrication, he applied the design

skills he learned at Hoshour’s architectural firm and his additional training from his studies at the University of New Mexico to develop his own approach to jewelry design. He continued to perfect his skills at cutting and shaping stones and looked to minimalist designs for inspiration. As he began to refine his work, striving for color and balance in his designs, he was drawn to the simplicity of Danish jewelry and admired the paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Like Mondrian’s work, Chavez’s jewelry is abstract and influenced by color choices.

Chavez’s approach to jewelry fabrication is much like the way a painter employs a palette. Marti Struever noted that Chavez “creates pieces of jewelry that really are restrained compositions of modern art, perfectly attuned to form and color.”

Chavez notes, “After I quit using beads in jewelry, tiger eye, malachite, ivory, sodalite, lapis and other nontraditional materials became part of my designs. It was through research and jewelry books I was collecting that I was realizing the potential of utilizing the different materials to incorporate into the jewelry. The books on

Scandinavian designs were my favorite. Some of the jewelry photo designs were so simple and elegant it didn’t need much embellishment to make a statement. That’s what impressed me the most about Scandinavian and Danish designs, whether it was jewelry, furniture or flatware.”

The paintings by T.C. Cannon that comprise the Bloch Collection represent the finest examples by a multifaceted artist whose voice and talent resonate and inspire nearly forty years after his untimely passing. The major canvases in the Collection speak to multiple themes—his early mastery of color in Man I’d Like to Have that Pinto Pony; his compelling and ironic twist on the Plains warrior motif and Kiowa history in Washington Landscape with Peace Medal Indian; his regard for family heritage in Grandmother Gestating Father and the Washita River Runs Ribbon-Like; and his tribute to the power of music in A Remembered Muse. Each work of art has a palpable power to engage, foster ideas and be truly memorable. It is the finest group of T.C. Cannon’s paintings known to exist in either private or public collections and is the first time in 20 years since they have been exhibited in public.

Cannon's paintings Chief Watching, A Remembered Muse (Tosca), and Washington Landscape with Peace Medal Indian, are featured in this exhibition shot.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION

The Birth of an Exhibition Placing contemporary art at the Heard ERIN JOYCE, FINE ARTS CURATOR

Upon joining the Heard in the fall of 2017, I immediately started planning an exhibition of contemporary art for the museum’s newly opened Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Grand Gallery. Having worked with many artists on multiple shows, I knew exactly which artist I wanted to bring to the Heard. The exhibition, Dear Listener: Works by Nicholas Galanin, opens in May and will feature more than 12 years and 10,000 square feet of work by Native Alaskan artist Nicholas Galanin.

Nicholas Galanin was born in 1979 in Sitka, Alaska, and is of mixed Tlingit/Aleut and non-Native ancestry. This will be my fifth year and ninth exhibition working with him, and I am so thrilled to be able to introduce his work to the Heard and to the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Galanin’s approach to making art is conceptual; he thematically addresses issues of American Indian representation and cultural critique, often through a multidisciplinary approach. His body of work includes sculpture, installation, video, performance and new media. Galanin makes provocative work; he addresses issues of authority, authenticity, American Indian experience and the commoditization of Indigenous culture. He brings to his work

16 E A R T H S O N G

a free space for engagement with people of all cultures, and he has built a platform to which they can relate from their unique cultural perspectives.

I have worked with Galanin on many exhibitions over the years, each one bringing a new body of work and challenges.

When I collaborated with the artist in the spring of 2017 for my exhibition My Country Tis of Thy People, You’re Dying in New York, Galanin’s work was proclaimed a “standout” by The New York Times, prominently featured on the front page of the Arts section. Galanin’s distinction in the contemporary art world only continues to grow.

Dear Listener will explore themes of Indigeneity, the porosity of identity in both Indigenous and American contexts, and reciprocal dialogues therein. Works will inspect the notions of landscape and colonialism, redress the rampant misappropriation of American Indian aesthetics and visual culture by non-Native individuals, and highlight the artist’s nimbleness in the reclamation of Indigenous agency. I take the naming of a show very seriously. It sets the tone and becomes part of the broader narrative of the exhibition, what I am trying to convey as a curator, and

DEAR LISTENER: WORKS

BY NICHOLAS GALANIN Opens May 4; on display through September 3, 2018

how that narrative works in consort with the artist’s vision as well. The title of the exhibition, Dear Listener, is an intentional direct address to the viewer—playing off of clandestine broadcasters addressing their listeners in the same manner, it is an active attempt at creating a discursive conversation between viewer and artist, and metaphysically to the theoretical concepts contained within the works. The works are visually powerful, imbricated, and arresting. Pieces include Galanin’s 2017 single-channel video “Unceremonial Dance Mask,” a commentary on mass-produced “Native-looking” objects from Indonesia; and “Indian Children’s Bracelet,” a pair of handcuffs used during the residential school period to remove American Indian children from their homes.

The exhibition promises to be powerful and provocative and will be the start of a new incorporation of contemporary Indigenous art and a new visual vocabulary at the Heard.

The art of being Indian NINA SANDERS, APSÁALOOKE | CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I own a marvelous studded leather belt that was made to resemble those worn by Northern Plains women in the 19th century.

It is about 3 inches wide, covered in round brass tacks, and ties at the front with two soft strips of brain-tanned buckskin leather. It was made for me by a lovely and important man, and I cherish it.

This belt of mine is powerful. I wear it when I am involved in meaningful or fabulous situations. I believe it is magic, or as my ancestors would say, sacred medicine. Aesthetically, it enhances the bright symmetrical flowers on my Bethany Yellowtail dress perfectly, and as for my Apsáalooke-red-elk tooth dress, the dark swath of leather against the bright-red wool invokes a sort of majesty. This belt turns heads; on more than one occasion I have been identified as “that woman with the fancy leather Indian belt.”

My grandmother once told me that I should never leave the house without a great pair of earrings and a dab of perfume. We have a Crow phrase that translates as “Make all the things you do in life beautiful.” In my experience and observations, I have come to use the expression, “It’s the art of being Indian.”

For most Native people there are things that are of the utmost importance, a time when great care and attention should be given to provide the best results. The art of being Indian is different things to different people: it is a beautifully made apple pie for a ceremonial feast, a stunning gift horse that is carefully broken for a brother-inlaw, the way a painter adorns his fingers in rings and speaks with his hands as well as his mouth. Though all of us have our own unique ways of expressing ourselves, it is the artists who seem to fascinate us the most. Many of the most famous Indian artists were masterminds at cultivating an

"The art of being Indian is

different things to different people: it is a beautifully

enchanting artistic image—Fritz Scholder, T.C. Cannon, Pablita Velarde, Charles Loloma and Kay WalkingStick, to name a few. T.C. Cannon’s life was as wondrous as his work was. He was traditional yet a little wild, graceful and passionate, a lover and a fighter. We capture glimpses of his soul in his sorrowful poetry, playful portraits and multilayered masterful paintings. Cannon had a love affair with life that lives on through his art.

The Indian artists who make all of life an art form or “makes all things in life beautiful” will continue to capture our attention and possibly our hearts. They give us stories to tell, art to collect, and leave us wanting more.

PROGRAMMING

Generation to Generation Hoop Dance Contest is 28-years strong SHALIYAH BEN, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROGRAMMING

In just two short years, the Heard Museum will celebrate three decades of hoop dance tradition at the Heard. In 1991, the first Hoop Dance Contest was a memorial competition honoring the late Tony White Cloud from Jemez Pueblo.

Credited as the father of modern hoop dance, White Cloud incorporated aspects of this traditional and sacred dance into a contemporary expression in the 1920s and ’30s. From then on, hoop dancing grew in popularity, interpreted through the many Indigenous lenses and dancers who have transformed this dynamic art form into the respected competition celebrated each year.

Over the past 28 years, the Heard Museum’s World Championship Hoop Dance Contest has witnessed several young competitors grow from humble beginnings in the Youth Division to spectacular performances in the Adult Division that earned them the title World Hoop Dance Champion: Tony Duncan (Apache/Hidatsa/Arikara/Mandan), Nakotah LaRance (Hopi/Tewa/Assiniboine) and now Tyrese Jensen (Navajo/Maricopa), the reigning 2017 World Champion.

We’ve celebrated a female world champion who’s taken top honors twice, demonstrating that the hoop-dancing arena is an equal playing field.

The most enduring aspect of this dynamic competition is the sense of family. There are over 80 in this hoop clan; more if you include the family that supports them in their efforts that come from all over the continental U.S. and Canada.

It’s a literal kinship with the Duncans, who have made hoop dancing a family pursuit. World Champion Tony Duncan

Buy tickets in person or online at heard.org/hoop. has been a regular for years, starting out in the Youth Division.

His wife Violet Duncan also competes in the Adult Division, and today their children are dancing in the Youth and Tiny Tot divisions. That sense of family is also felt in the overall spirit of the competitors, who support one another and cheer each other on. It’s a testament to the strength of the hoop-dancing family, which not only celebrates the good times but also has gathered together in times of sorrow when luminaries in the hoop-dancing community have passed on.

Strong partnerships help sustain this important annual event. This year the Heard is happy to announce a new partnership arranged with the Consulate General of Canada through which we will showcase the artistry of a First Nations musical performance during the lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday. The Consulate General also is placing programmatic support in the name of Canadian Hoop Dance Contest participants. This support helps the Heard maintain the high caliber of the World Championship Hoop Dance Contest, which spectators and performers alike come out to enjoy each year. We are very excited about this opportunity and hope the added programming during the lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday will be a delightful addition to Hoop 2018.

Members at the Experience and Circles levels look for your complimentary tickets in the mail in early January.

VISIT THE HEARD FOR DÍA DEL NIÑO

BY SHALIYAH BEN, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROGRAMMING

Children’s Day is an international day set aside to honor our children and show respect for their place in society. Día del Niño (Children’s Day) at the Heard began last year as a family-oriented public program in association with the landmark exhibition Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera. More important, it was a response to the museum’s new strategic initiative to create free public access to the arts for Maricopa County youth.

The first-ever event, held on April 30, 2017, drew more than 3,000 visitors who enjoyed a day of free museum admission, hands-on activities, live performances, food tastings and music. The success of the inaugural event suggested that there was both interest and need for this type of event in the Greater Phoenix community.

Once again this year, the Heard Museum is proud to present Día del Niño, a day of fun, arts, storytelling, music, dance, games and activities for kids of all ages!

On April 29, children and their adult chaperones are invited to visit the Heard with free admission. The museum will partner with Valley organizations and artists to offer exciting performances and activities that will reflect the diversity of Phoenix and allow families to create lasting memories together at the Heard.

DÍA DEL NIÑO Sunday, April 29, 2018 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Free admission for children ages 12 and under, along with two accompanying parents/guardians.

BY JANET CANTLEY, CURATOR

We are honored with a recent recognition from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The National Humanities Alliance is featuring our project, one of two from Arizona (and 80 from across the U.S.) in a highlight of NEH recipients called “NEH for All.” They recognize programs that support excellence in education and research, protect cultural heritage, offer learning opportunities for all ages and strengthen local economies. The link is: https://nehforall. org/projects/exhibiting-the-american-indian-boarding-schoolexperience Since the fall 2017 issue of Earthsong we have made great strides in the revision of the boarding school exhibit. We have refined and fleshed out content and design of the exhibition.

SYMMETRY IN STONE

We conducted more filmed interviews and continue to edit and place them, topically, in the exhibition space. In late November we interviewed Mr. Harold Pourier (Oglala Lakota), a 38-year educator at Albuquerque and Santa Fe Indian School. His “second home” at Santa Fe Indian School is where he promotes core values of the tribally managed school, selecting each month certain values for emphasis (i.e, respect and giving back, for the month of November).

Film and music goers can add another Phoenix venue to their list on First Friday April 2018 when No Festival Required screens RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World. RUMBLE tells the story of a profound essential, and, until now missing chapter in the history of American music: the Indigenous influence. Stick around following the film for a Q&A. Before the screening enjoy a special musical performance to rock the night away starting at 6:15 p.m. Be sure to stop by the Heard Museum’s café and cantina for snacks to enjoy throughout the movie! Music from the film will be played by guest DJ in the Central Courtyard. This event is free and open to the public.

We are developing content for the exhibit interactives. One interactive will be a timeline where a visitor can explore the history of boarding schools and American Indian education at mission schools in the 1600s, or learn about the early influences of Indian activists such as Zitkala-Sa (Yankton Sioux) or Carlos Montezuma (Yavapai). Both activists advocated for Native rights and self-determination in the early 1900s. A sport enthusiast can scroll through a digital scrapbook of well-known figures from Carlisle’s legendary football team under “Pop” Warner, featuring Jim Thorpe (Sac and Fox). Or learn about Hopi longdistance running through Carlisle student Louis Tewanima and Sherman Indian School’s Philip Zeyouma.

We are building an interactive map to feature some of the longrunning federally operated boarding schools. They all started out based on a military model established by Richard Henry Pratt at Carlisle Indian School in 1879. The schools gradually changed from Pratt’s assimilationist institutions to schools that promoted Native language, history and cultural practices in the curriculum. With tribal involvement in teaching and administration of the Bureau of Indian Education schools, four boarding schools are still in operation: Chemawa Indian School at Salem, Oregon; Sherman Indian School at Riverside, California; Flandreau Indian School at Flandreau, South Dakota and Riverside Indian School at Anadarko, Oklahoma.

LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES

Rare Books: Picasso of the North Find Norval Morrisseau in the Heard’s Rare Book Collection MARIO NICK KLIMIADES, LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES DIRECTOR, AND BETTY MURPHY, LIBRARIAN

The history of the Heard Museum’s Rare Book Collection dates to the beginning of the 21st century, when the Billie Jane Baguley Library and Archives opened the door to the new Becker-Baguley Archival Vault. Made possible through the generosity of library volunteer Billie Jane Baguley to honor her parents, the library vault provides a safe and secure place for the Heard Museum’s priceless documentary and photographic works.

Before the construction of the vault, rare and special books could be found housed in two locking antique hutches or on the library’s open shelves. These special volumes were methodically brought together, and the Rare Book Collection was born. Today, library patrons who want access to this material simply make an appointment; the staff stands ready to retrieve a treasure from the vault for consultation. Special books held in the vault include pre-20th-century titles, artists’ books, culturally sensitive works, fragile tomes, signed and inscribed books, presentation copies, uniquely designed works, publications only for exhibition, and finely printed books issued in limited editions.

Among the rare books are many beautiful art books; The Art of Norval Morrisseau is one example. Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau, popularly called the “Pablo Picasso of the North,” created paintings and drawings depicting the legends of his people and the artist’s own spirituality. With a style characterized by bright colors and thick black outlines, Morrisseau founded the Woodlands School of Canadian art and was a member of the world-renowned collective the Indian Group of Seven. This limited-edition book by one of Canada’s great First Nations artists was highly sought after. Its purchase was made possible by the Heard Museum Guild using proceeds from the Heard Museum Library Book and Art Sale.

The Art of Norval Morrisseau, by Lister Sinclair and Jack Pollock, was published in 1979 by Methuen Publications of Agincourt, Ontario, Canada. Featuring a personal essay by the artist, the book is considered the best introduction to the artist’s life and work. The text, an oblong quarto bound in natural finish calfskin with stamped design and lettering, is accompanied by five stunning color prints, signed and numbered,

by Morrisseau. The gallery-edition prints measure 24 by 18 inches and are issued in a wooden box with cloth and leather accents.

The Library has copy no. 66 of a limited edition.

Art books in the Rare Book Collection number over 100 and include works on artists Fritz Scholder, Margarete Bagshaw, Abraham Anghik Ruben and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, among many others.

The window to the Rare Book Collection is the Library’s online catalog at heard.org/ library. To truly marvel at the beauty of The Art of Norval Morrisseau and other rare art books, please call or visit the library.

DE VELOPMENT

Magic in the moonlight REBECCA SIMPSON, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT PHOTOS COURTESY OF HAUTE PHOTOGRAPHY

The Heard Museum made magic at Moondance on Saturday, October 28, raising nearly $500,000. The events of the evening reminisced on a transformational year for the Heard and celebrated honorees Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and Pulitzer Prize–winning author N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa/Caddo).

After being greeted with champagne and customized sunglasses, guests were invited to view the exhibition Of God and Mortal Men: Masterworks by T.C. Cannon from the Nancy and Richard Bloch Collection and bid on silent-auction items including gorgeous turquoise squash blossoms, antique beaded bags, a studio session for three with Valley artist and icon Patsy Lowry and a stone inlay bolo tie by lapidary artist Jesse Monongye (Navajo). Dickey Family Director and Chief Executive Officer David M. Roche and Honorary Chairs Carol and Randy Schilling welcomed guests. Spirit of the Heard Award winner A. Joyce Hughes gave a blessing in her Akimel O’otham language.

Guests, accessorized in their finest Southwest jewelry, then moved to the Freeport-McMoRan Plaza, where the architecture was lit in bright polka dots projected lights reminiscent of Cannon’s signature motifs. A video by mixedmedia artist Steven J. Yazzie (Navajo) recounted events from the last year at the Heard, highlighted Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona’s impact in the arts and culture community, and celebrated N. Scott Momaday’s creative expression and literary contributions.

Dinner was catered by Arizona Taste, and Fosterson Music played a set list inspired by T.C. Cannon, who admired Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. At the end of the evening, guests received a gift bag with a copy of Momaday’s The Way to Rainy Mountain (1969).

Erin Joyce FINE ARTS CURATOR In October 2017, the Heard Museum announced the hire of a new Fine Arts Curator, Erin Joyce. With over eight years in the contemporary art world, Joyce has worked as an independent curator and journalist, focusing on contemporary Indigenous North American art, as well as contemporary Middle Eastern and North African art. Joyce will be working with the team at the Heard to usher in a new wave of contemporary Indigenous artists.

“I think it is so important, not only at institutions like the Heard, but for the art world in general, to acknowledge and embrace the significant contributions Indigenous artists are making to visual and material culture, and more importantly, their contributions to discursive conversations about broader culture, race, politics, and environmental justice,” said Joyce.

Joyce holds a Bachelor of Arts in the History of Art from the University of North Texas, studied contemporary art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London, and received her Master of Arts in Museum Studies from Johns Hopkins University.

Joyce has worked with both commercial galleries as well as non-profit art spaces and museums. Her notable exhibitions have included: You Are On Indian Land, which opened in New York at Radiator Gallery in spring 2015, and traveled to the Institute of American Indian Art - Museum of Contemporary Native Art in Santa Fe, NM, completing its run at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff.

The exhibition, which explored themes of identity, and appropriation and misappropriation of Indigenous cultures, featured Postcommodity, Michael Namingha, Edgar Heap of Birds, and Dana Claxton, as well as several other prominent American Indian and First Nations artists.

Her spring 2017 exhibition, My Country Tis of Thy People, You’re Dying, featured in the New York Times, , dealt with environmental justice and energy extraction, unsanctioned land-rights abuses, and Indigenous sovereignty, featuring Galanin, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Tom Jones, and Steven Yazzie, as well as a video installation by Winter Count, an Indigenous art collective.

“I am interested in creating environments within the gallery space and activating those spaces in new and engaging ways,” said Joyce.

“I want to nurture existing audiences of contemporary art, while

also cultivating and inspiring a new cohort of art enthusiasts,” she remarked. “I want to disrupt notions of American Indian art, create sustainable platforms for the presentation of new works, and educate the public on Indigeneity, and I cannot think of a better venue for that than the Heard.”

In addition to her curatorial work, Joyce is a respected journalist, writing for publications such as Hyperallergic, Canvas Magazine, Salon, and GOOD Magazine. Her writing will also appear in the forthcoming volume, A Companion on Contemporary Craft, edited by Namita Wiggers and published by Wylie-Blackwell.

Joyce grew up in Northern Arizona, and has lived and worked in London, New York, Dallas, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and the Central Coast of California.

“My roots here in Arizona make my becoming a part of the Heard team so much more valuable to me personally,” she remarked. “It’s an exciting time for contemporary Indigenous art, for Phoenix, and for the Heard, and I am honored to be part of this momentum.”

AVOCADO TOAST TUESDAYS: NO LONGER A SECRET Secret menu items have existed almost as long as restaurants have been in business. You may have heard about “Animal Style” at In-and-Out burger. These examples are available to the public, but have never been shown on the menu. “Secret” menu items usually start when a valued guest makes a special request, kitchen staff gets excited by it, chatter takes place and the next thing you know people are asking for it. Buffalo Chicken wings were probably one of the first “secret” menu items. The story goes that a guest of the Anchor bar in Buffalo, New York, wanted a spicy snack with his beer. The owner had just received a wrong shipment of chicken wings, so she decided to fry them up and cover them in her special recipe hot sauce. The guest loved them so much he asked for them every time he came to the bar. Word got around and other guests started asking for them and the rest is history!

As you now may have guessed, we have our own little secret menu at the Courtyard Café. One item that was on the Café’s secret menu until recently was our Avocado Toast. The secret is now out so we have declared every Tuesday at the Courtyard Cafe Toast Tuesday. We offer two versions, the original preparation is using freshly mashed avocado, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of truffle salt on sourdough toast. On our other version, we have added elote, a Mexican Street corn that is roasted and cut off the cob, mixed with chipotle crema, veggies and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

Now here’s the secret, YOU can get it any day of the week!

Just ask your server and they will be happy to serve it to you.

DEAR LISTENER OPENING MAY 5 ON DISPLAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2018 The Heard Museum is proud to announce their forthcoming exhibition, Dear Listener: Works by Nicholas Galanin. The exhibition, which opens May 4th, 2018 and runs through September 03, 2018, is a mid-career retrospective of contemporary Native Alaskan artist, Nicholas Galanin.

Galanin, b. 1979 in Sitka, Alaska, is of mixed Tlingit-Aleut and non-Native ancestry. The exhibition will explore themes of Indigeneity, the porosity of identity in both Indigenous and American contexts, and reciprocal dialogues therein. Works will inspect the notions of landscape, colonialism, and redress the rampant misappropriation of American Indian aesthetics and visual culture by non-Native individuals. The exhibition will be installed in our newly opened Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Grand Gallery, the Dennis Lyon Family Crossroads Gallery, Freeman Gallery, and the historic South Courtyard, Dear Listener, curated by Heard Museums’ Fine Arts Curator, Erin Joyce, will feature more than 10,000 square feet of new and existing works by Galanin including video installation, sculpture, performance art, works on paper, installation work, and fashion.
