EARTHSONG

It took five months for Allan Houser to create Earth Song ­— a large and powerful sculpture made from Alabama marble depicting a drummer (modeled by fellow artist Delmar Boni), drumming and chanting. Houser and his gallery gifted the sculpture to the museum in 1979: “Initially, it was placed near the museum’s original entrance at 22 E. Monte Vista; after the 1999 museum expansion, it was moved to the [new entrance].

In 1997, Earth Song left the museum and was included in the exhibit Twentieth Century American Sculpture at The White House: Honoring Native America along with sculpture by Houser’s colleague John Hoover and a group of artists a generation younger.”

- Diana Pardue, Allan Houser. Voices Heard, Journal of the Heard Museum . 2009. pg 24.

Nearly 40 years later, Earth Song continues to welcome all visitors as they pass through the museum’s doors. Some are visiting for the first time, and many, especially our members, more times than they can count.

We want you, as a member, to know that Earth Song, this publication we named for the artwork that greets you at our door, is your continuing welcome to the Heard.

This magazine serves as your guide to our upcoming exhibitions and programs, and it provides information exclusive to members. We want you to have the best experience possible every visit ­— and every visit begins with Earth Song.

Take a picture with Earth Song on your next visit! Share on social media with #heardmembers or email us at members@heard.org. We might feature your photo in our next issue and hope you enjoy seeing yourself and other members on the pages of your Member Magazine.

DIRECTOR'S LETTER Dear Heard Museum Members: On May 4, we are thrilled to be opening the exhibition Dear Listener: Works by Nicholas Galanin. The exhibition is the largest showing of contemporary art at the Heard in more than a decade and is the first dedicated to a living artist in the new Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Grand Gallery.

David M. Roche Dickey Family Director and CEO

I encourage you, as a member of the Heard Museum, to take great pride in knowing that your support has made many opportunities for Native American artists possible. For example, in the early 1960s, when living Native artists were being denied the chance to display their work at many mainstream galleries and museums, the Heard started presenting monographic exhibitions featuring the works of fine art practitioners such as Allan Houser, Oscar Howe, Fritz Scholder and Al Momaday. These once-radical artists are now considered among the most important of their generation.

In 1973, the commitment to living artists expanded, with the Heard’s initiation of an invitational which facilitated exposure for artists’ work and invited critical discourse, that at the time was nonexistent. Within a decade, the Heard launched the first-ever biennial for Native art based on a fine art model.

Continuing a focus on the contemporary into the 2000s, the Heard co-organized two group exhibitions: Holy Land: Diaspora and the Desert (2006) and REMIX: New Modernities in a Post Indian World (2007). Each was well-received critically and served to further showcase the changing realities of Native American art.

Now, with our new mission and strategic direction that emphasizes advancing American Indian art — and an exciting new whitewall gallery — ­ the world’s largest private museum dedicated to American Indian art has an opportunity, if not an obligation, to continue our pioneering efforts into the 21st century.

Dear Listener marks the Heard Museum’s return to the forefront of presenting the finest and most current examples of contemporary Native American art, as well as advancing critical discourse on the role that Native American art plays in the modern world.

I thank each of you for the role you are playing in making this important work a reality.

D E A R L I S T E N E R W OR K S B Y NIC HOL A S G A L A NIN

BY ERIN JOYCE FINE ARTS CURATOR This May the Heard is ushering in a new wave of contemporary art. Our exhibition, Dear Listener:

Works by Nicholas Galanin, is

a mid-career retrospective of Nicholas Galanin, b. 1979.

The exhibition will feature over

10,000 square feet of new

and existing work, including installation,

video art, work on paper, performance art and fashion. I recently asked Galanin to discuss

the exhibition, his practice as an artist, and what is on the horizon for him after the Heard.

ERIN JOYCE: Nicholas, I have had the privilege of

working with you and seeing your career progress over the years. For our readers who are new to your work,

can you share a bit about your background and what has

led to this moment in your career?

NICHOLAS GALANIN: Yes, I am grateful for all of

these projects we have worked on. I have been involved and interested in creative work since I was a child; this

has been an ongoing practice of passion and process,

a lifetime of growing, learning, teaching, holding and Nicholas Galanin Photo: Wendy Red Star

contributing to my cultures’ continuum. So yes, this is a

personal milestone for me, [and] I hope it is one of more to come, as I feel like I am still just getting started here.

EJ: Your practice as an artist is so diverse. Looking at

your visual work, can you describe your process as you start a work, commencing with research and then manifesting that into a physical object? How does that progression unfold for you?

NG: It is always different, [there’s] no recipe—just

creative necessity and curiosity, listening, learning and continual growth. I believe everything is connected

and am not so quick to categorize or separate my

creative practice. There is sovereignty in diversity

of medium. There is power in this sovereignty.

Institutions and audiences tend to need

boundaries and definitions, walls and

barriers often built by stereotype and romanticization.

EJ: One of the pieces in the exhibition that I am most excited to bring to the Heard is Imaginary Indian.

Can you tell the readers more about that work and the concepts behind it?

NG: This series has taken form in many works. The

original concept started with cultural appropriation and an economy of culture rooted in colonialism and settler communities that forcibly removed these objects from Indigenous communities through theft and genocide.

Generations later, this same settler community

commodified and homogenized Indigenous knowledge, ceremony and object. It is a way of reclaiming that

agency, reclaiming power over our cultural heritage and cultural future.

EJ: Another piece like that is A Supple Plunder. Often

your work addresses and redresses histories of violence and the genetic memory of trauma. Can you discuss this work and your intention behind creating it?

NG: My work is not solely based in or defined by these

conversations, though I will not stand by as this violence continues. It is necessary to highlight and expose

histories and conversations [that] settler communities deny. We are still living in a nation that continues this

oppression and violence institutionally. These conversations are often ignored, purposefully overlooked as we are expected to remain available and complicit in giving

our experiences and knowledge for homogenization and

anthropology. To create work that holds this space and sits

in to do what it has been created to do, engage and promote progress and dialogue in all communities. A Supple Plunder is a memorial to Indigenous men and women who’ve been subject to the still-ongoing violence of U.S. and Canadian government nation-building. Many of the statues we see

erected in bronze are of men who were responsible for the raping, murdering violence toward Indigenous peoples.

NG: My practice formed and continues to exist on this

side of cultural continuum with community-based

projects that are not always rooted in conversations

mentioned in the question above. The violent history

is not removed from our generations here now, and this

cultural work is also engaging in healing. The totem I am carving now in Juneau is a healing pole for the Yanyeidi

clan in Juneau. The Taku village was burnt to the ground to remove Tlingit families from their homes to make way for a boat harbor. This happened in 1962! The

strength in our culture is understood and shared through our cultural arts, visual language, customs, subsistence,

language and cultural sovereignty. I want to see all of our Indigenous brothers and sisters succeed; to the outsider, our presence and resilience is resistance.

something for the Honolulu Biennial in 2019, so I am getting excited about this as well. As for long-term

throughout the United

States and Canada ranging

from one through 62 years of

age. This year we welcomed more

than 5,000 attendees, and another 1.2

million watched online via Facebook Live.

We also welcomed new partnerships and

friends from Canada, who shared live musical performances. DJ Shub, founding member of the acclaimed music group A Tribe Called Red,

performed on both days and was accompanied by Oneida Smoke Dance artist Ty Smoke. Both shows were generously presented in partnership with Culture Canada.

Sunday culminated in the awarding of the 2018 Hoop Dance World

Champion, Nakota LaRance (Hopi-Tewa/Assiniboine) of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. LaRance, a two-time world champion in 2015 and 2016, was

cheered on by his adoring students from the Pojoaque Pueblo Youth Hoop Dance Group in New Mexico.

Best of Show JAMIE OKUMA WINS AT INDIAN FAIR & MARKET

BY ANNA FLYNN 2018 FAIR MARKETING CHAIR

Jamie Okuma (Luiseño/Shoshone-Bannock) won Best of Show for her mixedmedia sculpture Protect, Honor, Cherish, depicting a Shoshone mother with her child in a cradleboard. She received the first-ever $10,000 prize sponsored by Howard R. and Joy M. Berlin and Kristine and Leland W. Peterson.

The museum acquired the piece through a gift from Kathleen L. and William G. Howard and the Heard Museum Council.

It is on display in the lobby.

Okuma describes her sculpture as “the culmination of the past six years’ experiences [after] stepping away from this art form to raise a family and focus on a lifelong desire to work in fashion. ‘Protect’ is literally the function of the cradleboard. Its work and design were created in such a way because of the great love for our children, so we ‘cherish’ this stage in life and ‘honor’ it with a functional piece of incredible art.”

For 60 years, the Heard Museum Guild has welcomed the artists and their families to a meal with Guild and Museum members, collectors and supporters on the evening before Indian Fair & Market. Since the inauguration of the juried art competition, the highlight of the evening has been unveiling the ribbon winners. This year we recognized 109 artists who took home awards totaling $61,300.

Visit heard.org/fair, for a list of winners.

Protect, Honor, Cherish.

These schools were established with the express purpose 'To kill the Indian in the child.' Told through their own voices, 'We Were Children' is the shocking true story of two such children: Glen Anaquod and Lyna Hart. 2012, 88 min.

WILD-CAUGHT SALMON

BY IRENE RUTIGLIANO HEARD MUSEUM RESTAURANT OPERATIONS MANAGER

IR: Every season the Heard Museum’s Courtyard Café features a special menu item that relates to a current artist exhibition in the Grand Gallery. We know that you practice

As a Courtyard Café tradition, staff are already at work developing a featured item for our summer menu inspired by Nicholas MEMBER Galanin’s subsistence DISCOUNT: 10% lifestyle and featuring wild-caught Alaskan King Salmon. The new summer menu will be available beginning May 1.

Galanin answers a few questions regarding his subsistence lifestyle regarding food and the environment as it relates to his art.

subsistence; can you explain to our members what this is?

NG: Subsistence is survival and appreciation for where we are, how we teach our children to survive on the land and sea. Subsistence is connection to place; subsistence is teaching and respect. Industrial farming and the corporate food industry sit on the opposite side of this spectrum. Living in Alaska, we are fortunate enough to hunt, fish and process these foods ourselves. Subsistence is love.

IR: Does your approach to food gathering/farming inspire your art, or does your art inspire your lifestyle?

NG: Yes, all of what we do is connected. When we are out harvesting or hunting, the salmon will feed our family, and we might tan the salmon skin and use this leather in our works (see Creation With Her Children). The relationship to land has always been integral to our culture’s existence, survival and spirituality. Our stories and histories, our clan structures are all tied to place; this history documents us as original stewards to the land for the last 15,000 years.

IR: In the planning of our featured menu item, you requested that the salmon we use should be wild and not farmed. Can you tell us why that is important to you?

NG: Farmed salmon is damaging our waterways and the wild salmon species with disease. The accidental release of farmed salmon is damaging to the natural balance in our habitats.

learn THE ART OF BEING INDIAN

ART IS LIFE

BY NINA SANDERS (APSAALOOKE) CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST I am not an art historian — these thoughts are my own — the thoughts of a Crow Indian, mother, anthropologist and artist. When I think of contemporary Native art, I think of my friends who are Native and making art today. They are potters, painters, jewelers, muralists and fashion designers. I tend to believe that art created by indigenous people is external and internal narrative, a vital part of our human life. What we create in the name of beauty, concept or utility is always meaningful and purposeful.

It matters not if the things created are honored through regular use or placed in a sanctified space for continued adoration and reflection.

Not long ago I visited an artist friend while he was working in his studio at one of the Pueblos in Northern New Mexico.

We discussed various things as I watched him toil over a new body of work. He told me about his daughter’s new glasses, his most recent grant application, the upcoming feast day and an important exhibition. As we chatted, I gazed out a window onto a road that led to the plaza, a road that is probably unfathomably ancient. Over the next hour I witnessed a midsized sedan bounce past, a horse in a corral, a couple of kids shooting hoops and some kind of purebred

dog wandering around looking for something. I understood I was witnessing and participating in what we like to call “time immemorial,” a space where time-honored traditions effortlessly occur alongside new modes of existence.

Jason Garcia, the artist I was visiting, is a modern Pueblo man who communicates his people’s narratives, shared ideologies and personal thoughts and experiences through his work. His work is used in publications, shown in museums and commonly used as an education tool to teach the public about the Pueblo revolt and Pueblo way of life. He works to sustain and enrich his culture with his technical mastery and meaningful worldview; he and his ancestors share many of the same motivations. Like many other artists, Jason makes things that are relevant to his people and the world around him. He is needed.

All Native artists are needed. They show us who we are, what we are doing and where we are coming from. What they create — their art — is a concept and act that transcends time, social structures and systems. Art cannot be encapsulated by time, technique, methodology or fixed meanings. We remember through art. Art is a way to understand, heal and forgive.

The artists who lived before us showed us new ways to see, make and thrive. We learn from them and continue to build on what they have created. Art is a way of being — art is life.

ART CANNOT BE ENCAPSULATED

HOW TO JOIN

Las Guias TRAVEL + LEARN

BY JACK RUEBENO LAS GUIAS DOCENT

When I was a kid, I loved nothing better than show-and-tell time at school. It was easy — bring in something visually curious and interesting. Prepare a story based on a little research in the Britannica and include some information your parents provided. And enjoy the glory of standing in front of the room and holding forth on a subject that, for that moment in time, was peculiarly known to you and you alone. Heaven.

Such an opportunity is available once a year to all members of the Heard Museum Guild to become a docent or guide for the museum, one of Las Guias.

It’s time to sign up for the new class, which runs from October 2018 through April 2019. The training includes classroom work led by our in-house staff and experienced Las Guias members, plus fascinating field trips to archaeological sites and the Three Mesas.

Mentoring from longtime docents in presentation skills is an important element of the training. After graduation, you will be asked to work twice each month for three-hour shifts. This year we are targeting Guild members who are winter visitors, and we will make accommodation for your travel schedules.

Orientation sessions will be at 10 a.m. on April 24, Aug. 21 and Sept. 11 in the Encanto Room. The session serves as an introduction to the training classes below. To get started, or for more information, email: lasguiasfacilitator@heardguild.org. There is no obligation for coming to one of the info sessions, and you might get a chance to do some show-and-tell of your own.

CLASS SCHEDULE Tuesdays, 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Oct. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 Nov. 6, 13, 20, 27 Dec. 4, 11, 18 Jan. 8, 15, 22, 29 Feb. 5, 12, 19, 26 March 5, 12, 19, 26 April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 All classes will take place in the Encanto Room.

The maximum allowed absences from class is two nonconsecutive absences.
