Exhibits

Two Current Exhibits

Showing February 5th - 28th

"Native American Folk Arts: Living Traditions"...The history of Native Americans in Kansas is, in part, the story of how cultural traditions continue to unfold through time while maintaining ties to the past.  Historically, Indian nations traded with other Indian nations, and their artists also came in contact with Europeans, new technologies, and changes in the environment.  Although Native American cultures were challenged by outside forces for many years, the traditional elements remain strong in folk arts practiced today.   Produced by the Kansas Historical Society with partial funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

"A Photographic Narrative: The Indians of Kansas"...Native Americans in Kansas reflect on their lives, their heritage, and what it means to be Indian in today's society.  Nineteen award-winning portraits capture the diversity of the state's Native American communities.  From traditional elder to young Persian Gulf veteran, from the reservation to the city, these voices both express individuality and strong ties to family, tribe, and tradition.  Produced by the Mid-America All-Indian Center with partial funding from the Kansas Humanities Council.
