25th Indian Market a chance to celebrate the legacy of Native American artists

Volunteers recognized for valuable contributions and service The annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner celebrated amazing individuals who donate many hours of service to the museum to improve the visitor experience for patrons. Hundreds attended the event April 27 and enjoyed a delicious meal by Kahn’s Catering followed by a captivating performance by the Indianapolis Women’s Chorus. In 2016, the Eiteljorg had 354 volunteers who donated 14,508 hours. For the third year in a row, Sharon Mills was recognized for donating the most hours, 468. Jen Anker donated an impressive 286 hours. For the second year, the top museum intern was Vickie Stone with 422 hours donated, followed by Alysha Zemanek with 412 hours.

Friends, One of the most loved events each year that best represents the museum’s mission to present the diversity of Native American cultures is the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival. This year marks the 25th annual Indian Market, a significant milestone for an event that has become a fixture in the cultural arts landscape not only for Indianapolis, but also for Native events nationally. Native American artists enliven our market each year along with music, dance and demonstrations. It’s always rewarding to see thousands of visitors, from longtime collectors to exploring families, wandering through the tents and perusing the booths, striking up conversations with artists. They learn not only about the art but the vibrant cultures that inspire it, all while enjoying great music and food. What better way to demonstrate that Native Americans are part of living cultures, both traditional and contemporary, than by hosting a friendly and fun gathering where they and visitors can mingle and share stories? We are thrilled at how Indian Market has developed over the years. Those who attended the first Indian Market will remember it was a slightly hodgepodge combination of an art market with Westernthemed activities held on the parking lot where the Indiana State Museum now stands. The hybrid format didn’t last beyond that first year, but the celebratory spirit has endured. Indian Market now is considered by artists as one of the top three Native American art markets

in the U.S. Longtime artists tell us they have forged relationships with local collectors who seek them out each year specifically to purchase their work and ask about their families. Our Preview Party on Friday night June 23 gives a more relaxed opportunity for visitors to mingle with artists and shop before the hubbub of the weekend begins. Much of the lasting impact of Indian Market is due to our late friend, Mrs. Robert S. (Margot) Eccles, an Eiteljorg board member and longtime Indian Market chairperson. Mrs. Eccles was a force of nature who brought passion, vision and generosity by starting an endowment for Indian Market. To recognize the more than 800 artists who have participated in Indian Market over the years, we are proud to present a special exhibit, Indian Market and Festival: Celebrating Twenty-Five Years, featuring works collected at past markets. Look for it in the Gerald and Dorit Paul Gallery. You will be impressed by the beauty, creativity, technique and whimsy imbued by the pieces. Last year we moved Indian Market from Military Park back to the Eiteljorg Museum grounds, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Now visitors can stroll easily between the artists’ tents, food vendors and performers outdoors and the exhibits, café and store inside the museum. More important than air conditioning in the building on a warm day is that there now is a more direct link between Indian Market and the Eiteljorg’s mission to inspire appreciation for the

Indigenous peoples of North America. We are privileged to share an exhibit of contemporary Native American art, In Their Honor, in the Hurt and Harvey galleries. As the gallery caption states, “This exhibition pays homage to five Eiteljorg Fellows who have passed into the next world, whatever that may be. All five were role models and inspirations for generations of artists . . . . They forged paths and passages into the art world, museums, universities and places previously unknown to Native artists. We celebrate their legacy.” While you are at the museum on Indian Market weekend, don’t miss our ongoing featured exhibit, Dogs: Faithful and True, which since its opening March 4 has been a huge hit with families. We are so thankful to our sponsors, donors, board and task force who have made the 25th annual Indian Market

Summer 2017

and the 24 before it a reality, and to the museum volunteers, staff and vendors who execute all the details. We especially are grateful to the artists who travel from across the U.S. and Canada to show and sell their work here, and to the visitors who have made Indian Market a must-do event in Indianapolis each summer. We all look forward to seeing you June 24-25. Thank you for 25 years of support and participation and for allowing us to be your hosts.

or the 25th year, the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival will showcase the vibrant art and cultures of Native America. Held on the beautiful Eiteljorg grounds June 24-25, Indian Market is one of the top artistic and cultural celebrations in downtown Indianapolis. Visitors interact with Native American artists and buy their handmade art, see dance and music performances and enjoy demonstrations, storytelling and food. This year’s market will celebrate the event’s enduring appeal. Artists from more than 60 Native American cultures show their jewelry, pottery, beadwork, baskets, paintings and sculpture. For newcomers, Indian Market 2

is a great opportunity to meet artists from across the U.S. and Canada, learn about their cultures and purchase artwork, whether traditional or contemporary. For returning marketgoers, it’s a chance to get reacquainted with favorite artists and see old friends. Music, dance and food Cultural experiences are a big part of Indian Market, whether it’s onstage or in smaller one-on-one interactions. On both days you can chat with more than 130 artists, watch artists’ demonstrations, enjoy the highly anticipated return of musician Arvel Bird and hoop-dancer Tony Duncan, join in art-making activities and savor fry bread.

“Visitors tell us Indian Market and Festival allowed them and their families to experience Native American art for the first time and broaden their cultural horizons. Collectors tell us they love the opportunity to buy Native American art close to home without traveling out West. Our participating artists from across the continent tell us they appreciate our Hoosier hospitality. Indian Market has been embraced by the Indianapolis community and we are so pleased to welcome thousands of market-goers for our 25th year,” Eiteljorg President and CEO John Vanausdall said. A market highlight this year is an exhibit inside the

INDIAN MARKET ARTISTS

INDIAN MARKET ENTERTAINMENT

Never missed a market: Returning artists known for beautiful works

Hoops, flutes, strings and stories will electrify the Indian Market stage By Bryan Corbin, Editor

Shirley Brauker (Little River Band of Odawa)

Shirley Brauker (Little River Band of Odawa) The intricate hand-carved designs of Shirley Brauker’s pottery depict vivid scenes of animals, trees and nature and often tell traditional stories. “A lot of them are so detailed that I actually type up the story and stick it in the pot so (the collector) can retell it,” she said. Her Woodland and Great Lakes style pottery is highly regarded. Two of her pieces are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. A large wall mosaic and several pottery pieces she created are seen at Disney Corp. in Orlando, Fla. Four of her pieces are in the Eiteljorg collection. Through showing her pottery and art at Indian Market each year, Brauker has befriended collectors in the Indianapolis 4

area. She recalled meeting her first Eiteljorg collectors while attending the first Indian Market Preview Party. One of her most loyal patrons was the late Mrs. Robert S. (Margot) Eccles, an Indianapolis philanthropist who served for years as an Eiteljorg board member and Indian Market chairperson. Eccles had collected several of Brauker’s pieces over the years, including the last one in 2012 shortly before her death; and Eccles sent her assistant to pick it up so it could be with her in her final days. “It’s so great to have this deep connection,” Brauker said of friendships with collectors. Based in Coldwater, Michigan, Brauker has a strong focus on arts education. She received her fine arts degrees, both bachelor’s and master’s, at Central Michigan University, and attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in

Santa Fe, N.M. In 2015 she received an honorary doctoral degree from her alma mater CMU and gave the university’s commencement address. She taught language and art for years at youth camps for Native children in Michigan and has conducted art workshops as far away as Alaska. In 2014, Brauker was one of the Eiteljorg’s Artists in Residence. “Education and teachings are really important to me and I try to pass that on to other Natives for inspiration and hope so they can learn,” she said. Brauker also draws ledger art, and all of her works include a tiny sketch of a moon and bear, a motif that comes from her Native name, “Bear of the Nighttime Sun.” It also inspired the name of her art business, Moon Bear Pottery and Indian Arts. Nelson Garcia (Santo Domingo Pueblo) From his studio in Phoenix, Nelson Garcia creates jewelry known for its clean pristine design and quality of stones. Turquoise, lapis, coral and other gemstones are in his repertoire of silver and gold bracelets, rings, earrings and other jewelry he designs — mostly contemporary, and some traditional. Growing up in the Kewa Pueblo village near Santa Fe, N.M., Garcia learned the silversmithing art from his father, Joe Jay Garcia. “My father was a great teacher, and he taught me a lot,” he said. “While I was learning jewelry, he always said, ‘Make sure it’s done — there’s a word in our language for perfect — before you put it out there on the table, or out there in the market.’” After working for several jewelry shops, Nelson Garcia

founded his own jewelry business in Phoenix in 1982. He’s sold his jewelry at many art shows, and his pieces have earned numerous awards. Through art shows, he’s met many customers who commissioned him to create jewelry for special occasions. “It’s always great to come back each year,” he said of the Eiteljorg Indian Market. He enjoys talking with customers who visit his table and he shares with them details about his art. “I just explain to them about my jewelry and a little bit about where I came from and what I have seen there in the village growing up,” he said. “That’s what makes the show really great: If you take care of your customers, they take care of you.” Garcia said he tries to create something special to show at Indian Market and enter into the juried art competition. “It’s nice to see all the other artists there — we talk just as friends,” he said of fellow Indian Market artists. “Every artist that comes to the Eiteljorg, they’re all good artists — every one of them.”

ver the years, some remarkable musicians, dancers and storytellers have graced the Indian Market and Festival stage: Robert Mirabal, Indigenous, Brulé, Pamyua, Nakota LaRance and many others. For the 25th Indian Market, two of the most requested acts make encore appearances: fiddle and flute player Arvel Bird, who performs as the “Celtic Indian,” and world champion hoop-dancer and flute player Tony Duncan. They perform multiple sets both days, so check eiteljorg.com for showtimes.

ndian Market and Festival has come a long way from its first year when it hosted fewer than 60 artists. Now it’s one of the top art shows for up-and-coming and established Native American artists. As the market has grown, evolved and inspired new memories, the Eiteljorg has been lucky to have the presence of two constants: Nelson Garcia and Shirley Brauker, talented artists who have been to every Indian Market and are returning for the 25th annual celebration. Market-goers each June look forward with anticipation to seeing them and the beautiful new pieces they create.

Nelson Garcia (Santo Domingo Pueblo)

Arvel Bird (Southern Paiute) and Bearsheart Dancers (Lakota) The potent eclectic mix of music styles flying from the strings of Arvel Bird’s fiddle during his concerts will remind some listeners of epic Hollywood films. “They can expect to see Braveheart meets Last of the Mohicans, at Woodstock,” Bird said of his performance on fiddle and Native American flute. Arvel Bird combines his dual heritage — Southern Paiute and Scottish — by fusing two music traditions into his original compositions. “I sing what would be classified as folk rock tunes, so you’ve got the instrumental element which is sweeping emotional kind of music, blended with songs of my Celtic and Native heritage,” he said. With classical training on violin, Bird was deeply influenced by Appalachian and Creole fiddle, but later he discovered a Native American fiddle style, Métis — named for an Indigenous group that spans Canada and the United States who descend from the intermarriage of European, Cree, Ojibwe and other Indigenous ancestors to form their own distinct culture. In Métis social dancing, fiddle became the central instrument, he said, replacing the drum. “So (onstage) I tell the story of the evolution of Native fiddling, how it started, how it spread, who introduced it to

Arvel Bird (Southern Paiute) Native American Music Awards Artist of the Year

different parts of country.” His series of Animal Totems CDs were suggested by fans who heard his onstage performances of unrecorded songs and urged him to record them. “The stories (the fans) tell me of their experience of my music is what’s rewarding for me; it reaffirms and validates why I’m on the road and why I’m bringing my music to the people and why I have chosen to play my own music instead of being in someone’s band and playing their music,” he said. Bird noted concert fans tell him his fiddle performances inspired them to take up violin lessons or resume playing the instrument after giving it up. “Music is what connects us, I believe, to the natural world, to the unseen world, to our higher selves,” he said.

At this year’s market, Bird will be joined onstage by Bearsheart Dancers, who perform traditional and nontraditional Sioux dance styles and drumming. Tony Duncan (Apache/Arikara/Hidatsa) Mesmerizing is the only way to describe Tony Duncan’s hoop dancing. Onstage, his high-energy sequences of moves combine multiple spinning hoops to tell stories depicting shapes of animals and parts of nature. Duncan was a featured dancer in pop singer Nelly Furtado’s 2012 music video “Big Hoops,” and he toured with her in Europe and Asia. “The hoop dance is basically storytelling through dance,” Duncan said. “It’s definitely a very fun and energetic dance, but it also has a lot of meaning.” His performances mix hoop dance styles and flute playing. Having recorded several flute albums on Canyon Records, Duncan recently released his new CD, Purify, where he switched from his longtime instrument, the river cane flute

Tony Duncan (Apache/Arikara/Hidatsa) Native American Music Awards Artist of the Year and World Champion Hoop Dancer

which has high birdlike melodies, to playing bass cedar flute, which has a deep tone “that just resonates right into your soul,” Duncan said. From Mesa, Ariz., Duncan recalled how performing cedar flute at the Grand Canyon inspired the new recording. “I think back to that time when all the visitors were gone and I got to play the flute right at the edge of the Grand Canyon, and looking into the canyon and watching all the hawks soaring in and out, catching the breeze. So while I’m in the studio, I think of those memories that brought me balance.” At this year’s Indian Market, Duncan will teach some basic hoop-dancing moves. “It’s basically a way to celebrate life and to show our appreciation and gratitude for our ancestors and spread that ‘good medicine’ to the people,” he said of his performances.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION

PLANNED GIVING

Special exhibit celebrates 25 years of Indian Market art By Scott Shoemaker, Ph.D, (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma), the Thomas G. and Susan C. Hoback curator of Native American art, history and culture

F

or the local and regional community, the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival is an important venue for interacting with Native artists and experiencing the diverse Native arts and cultures of North America. In conjunction with this year’s market, the exhibit Indian Market and Festival: Celebrating TwentyFive Years will open on June 23 during the Indian Market Preview Party and run through July 30. The exhibition features market art added to the museum’s collections through generous donations of patrons and celebrates the market’s many artists.

Marcus Amerman (Choctaw, b. 1959) Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull, 2006 Glass size 13 cut, antique and seed beads and size b Nymo nylon thread Museum Purchase: Indian Market Signature Artist

There is much to celebrate. Indian Market could not exist without the artists, who come to the Eiteljorg each June from all over the United States and Canada. Donors, staff and the public have developed deep relationships with the more than 800 artists who have participated in the market 8

over its lifetime. Many of these artists’ works have greatly enhanced the museum’s collection through the Harrison Eiteljorg Purchase Award and the market’s signature image. These additions help us further our mission — to inspire an appreciation and understanding of the art, history and cultures of the American West and the Indigenous peoples of North America. Starting during the market’s early years, a signature image has been selected from among participating artists’ works. This image is used on T-shirts and in promotional materials to convey the high quality of art market-goers will encounter. Some works that became signature images were acquired for the museum’s permanent collections. These range from paintings by several renowned Native artists to a beaded portrait, Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill by Marcus Amerman (Choctaw). Purchase prize As early as 1993, patrons purchased artworks from

market artists and donated them to the museum for the permanent collection. In 2004, a formal purchase prize was created. Consulting with donors who contribute the funds to acquire pieces, the curatorial staff gives presentations on exemplary and important works submitted for judging and chooses several that would help fulfill the museum’s collecting strategy. Then the donors vote on their favorite piece. Those chosen by the committee are added to the museum collections and represent nearly every category at the market. These encompass the broadest range of Native art visitors can encounter at Indian Market, such as the jar Love Gun by Susan Folwell (Santa Clara Pueblo) or the lidded basket Blue Herons by Ronni Leigh Goeman (Onondaga) and Stonehorse Goeman (Seneca). Both works are exquisite examples of customary and culturally specific art forms that also are innovative.

The signature images and purchase awards add exceptional pieces of Native art from living artists and fill existing gaps in the museum’s collection. These awards help the Eiteljorg demonstrate a continuum of expression and the broad array of creativity of Native artists using a wide range of mediums and their innovative use of materials, forms and design. Even if you can’t attend Indian Market and Festival this year, the exhibition in the Gerald and Dorit Paul Gallery will provide you with the “market experience.” We look forward to what the future holds for Indian Market and Festival and for the artists who help to make it such a wonderful event.

Legacy gift allows the Ankers to make a lasting difference By Bryan Corbin, Editor

hen they first began attending the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival in the 1990s, Pat and Bob Anker had a few simple rules for whether they should buy a piece of art. One of their self-imposed rules: “We had to be able to look at something and say, ‘I will still like that in 10 years,’” Bob Anker said. Their philosophy in art collecting also applies to their estate plans in donating to the Eiteljorg Museum and other organizations. Planned giving is not the result of current pressure, explained Bob, a retired American States executive. “I’m doing it because I know this is, long-term, a really valid interest to me. Even when I’m not here (any longer), I have the faith that I will still love this institution, what it stands for and what it does,” he said of designating a bequest. Pat Anker added, “It’s a long-term decision; you don’t make it on the spur of the moment.” Appreciating art The Ankers are among the Eiteljorg’s most devoted supporters. An Eiteljorg board member since 2008, Pat is winding up her service as cochair of the Indian Market and Festival Task Force and now co-chairs the museum’s Development Council. Pat and Bob are members of the museum’s Vision Circle and also sponsors of the Harrison Eiteljorg Purchase Award that allows the museum to acquire for its collections one of the top art works shown at Indian Market.

The retired couple hosted Indian Market artists in their Indianapolis home and have gotten to know several Native American artists and developed appreciation for symbolism in Southwest art. “Seeing the art and appreciating the art becomes more meaningful if you know more about the culture,” Pat said. With three grown children, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, the Ankers two years ago decided it was time to update their will. The couple consulted an attorney who helped sort through options for making bequests. It’s always easier to do estate planning when you don’t have to — when you have the time to talk through decisions, Pat observed. In arranging a bequest, they wanted to continue to make a difference at the Eiteljorg. So in their will, they designated a specific amount directed to the museum’s endowment. Their charitable contributions will be made first before other distributions. The bequest’s use by the museum is for general, unrestricted purposes. “The museum has always been very responsible in its drawing against the endowment, and I don’t see any reason to expect that that’s going to change,” Pat said. Building trust “If you think in long time periods, you realize you have to give other people the freedom to think, in terms of how they effectively use things,” Bob said of attaching no conditions on the future gift. “And you have to trust the organizations. Part of it is

being involved in organizations that you can trust, and helping build the infrastructure that will allow you to trust the organization.” Citing the Eiteljorg’s mission statement and welcoming atmosphere, the Ankers reiterated their advice to others contemplating planned giving. “Think a lot about your priorities — what’s important to you, and what’s important to the community and the people you care about,” Bob said. “And then make your decisions based on those things. It

really needs to be kind of an overarching thought process about what’s important and how does it prioritize; and then start making decisions based on that.” Many estate-giving options exist regardless of a member’s giving level. Planned gifts of any size will help keep the museum on stable financial footing.

2017 SUMMER EXHIBITION

MEMBERSHIPS AND DONATIONS

DOGS: FAITHFUL & TRUE Open through August 6 By Bert Beiswanger By now you’ve seen the adorable TV commercials and billboards around town, including one featuring a dog appropriately named Doc Holiday. What better way to represent an exhibit about dogs and their roles in the West than Doc — an Australian Shepherd, American-bred in the West. The Eiteljorg’s 2017 featured exhibit, Dogs: Faithful and True, has captured the attention of media far and wide and the hearts of museum visitors of all ages. And to say the museum has had fun with the exhibit and all the special programming supporting it is an understatement.

Ginger, a 10-year-old Australian Labradoodle owned by volunteer services manager Deborah Kish, welcomed visitors at the opening day of Dogs: Faithful and True on March 4.

Doc Holliday, an Australian Shepherd, American-bred in the West and owned by Jennifer Complo McNutt, curator of contemporary art.

“It’s a very sentimental show, because when people see images of dogs they become very empathetic,” said Jennifer Complo McNutt, Eiteljorg curator of contemporary art and lead curator on Dogs. Through art, photographs, objects, interactive experiences such as a drawing station where visitors can create dog art, as well as a robust schedule of family programming, visitors explore the enduring presence and contributions of dogs as companions, workers and heroes in the West and Native cultures. This is a heartwarming and insightful look at our canine friends. “In this show, you see

COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

sculptures of dogs, some very abstract and crazy-looking dogs, fun photographs of dogs, historic paintings of dogs and dog blankets used in Native American ceremonies — and the dogs were dressed in their regalia.” McNutt continued. “It’s an interesting and fun way to learn about the many roles of dogs in Western and Native cultures.” Dogs: Faithful and True continues through August 6. Don’t miss the opportunity to bring family and friends to see this popular exhibit, as well as experience our special programming days.
