General Information About the Museum Collections Staff Southwest Native Amercan Collection Thanks to the generosity of Ohio University alumnus and Museum namesake Edwin L. Kennedy, Ohio University possesses a unique and culturally significant collection of Southwest Native American arts and crafts. History of the Collection The weavings in the Kennedy collection include examples from Classic, Late Classic, Transitional, and Regional Periods, as well as examples of rare early weavings, such as a Bayeta strip weave serape; an early Classic First Phase Chief Blanket, Ute Style; and a Saxony yarn Classic serape. Twentieth-century works comprise an equally important component of the collection. Contemporary weavers of note who are represented in the collection include Two Grey Hills weavers Priscilla Taugelchee, Daisy Taugelchee, Julia Jumbo, and Virginia Deal; Burntwater weavers Philomena Yazzie and Maggie Price; Pictorial Style weavers Laura Nez and Suzie Black; Raised Outline Style weavers Cecilia Joe, May Smith, and Marie Begay; and Chant Weave or Sandpainting Textile weavers Despah Nez, Anna Mae Tanner, Alberta Thomas, Vera Begay, Grace Joe and Stella Yazzie. Prominent among the collections, however are a series of Navajo sandpainting textiles Mr. Kennedy commissioned with the assistance of Red Rock Trading Post owners Troy and Edith Kennedy over nearly four decades. Approximately three-fourths of the nearly 100 sandpainting textiles in his collection were executed by Red Rock area weavers Despah Nez and her two daughters, Anna Mae Tanner and Alberta Thomas. Nez produced 21, Tanner executed 25, and Thomas made 27 of the weavings. The collection includes the sandpainting designs used in six traditional ceremonial healing practices: the Beautyway, Waterway, Bead Chant, Great Star Chant, Hailway, and Coyoteway. It is, by all accounts, the largest single collection of sandpainting textiles in existence.

There was a wide range of viewpoints ex- pressed in this art, with an idealized image of the Indian as a "noble savage" being a frequent choice. Other artists saw their role as one of documenting an accurate picture of Indians and their society in a time when it was already disappearing. More sites on www.usc.edu

DIEGO RIVERA Virtual Museum Diego Rivera (1886-l957), Mexico's muralist painter, was one of the greatest artists in the 20th century. His legacy to modern Mexican art was decisive in murals and canvas; he was a revolutionary painter looking to take art to the big public, to streets and buildings, managing a precise, direct, and realist style, full of social content.

Information Exhibits Programs Education ... Services The Governor's Collection of Contemporary Native American Crafts The Governor's Collection is a collaborative effort between the New York State Museum and Native American communities to create a collection of contemporary crafts representing the living culture and thriving art of Native People's of New York. Since 1996, the Museum has worked with Native American artists each year to collect examples of beadwork, basketry, sculpture, silverwork, clothing, carving, and pottery. The collection reflects the broad range of artwork from Native artists from functional to unique and decorative, and from traditional to modern in style and technique. Award winning artists such as Tammy Tarbell-Boehning, Mohawk, Peter Jones, Onondaga, and Rosemary Hill, Tuscarora, are among those represented in the Museum's recent acquisitions. Recent Acquisitions Tammy Tarbell-Boehning, Mohawk, Turtle Clan Whimsey, 1999 Ceramic with beaded strawberry decoration. Tammy received her Bachelors in Fine Arts degree in 1980 from Syracuse University, studying ceramics. Her work has won numerous awards, and in 1996, Tammy was presented with the "Excellence in Iroquois Arts" award, presented by Judith Hard, representing New York State Governor George E. Pataki. Her work has also been exhibited at numerous institutions including the Museum of the American Indian, New York, NY, and the American Indian Archeological Museum, Washington, CT.

70. THE COLLECTOR'S GUIDE: WHAT DOES THIS INDIAN SYMBOL MEAN is but a glimpse of the rich inventory of native american designs and Morning Star Gallery 513 Canyon Road 505982-8187 Museum of Indian arts and Culture http://www.collectorsguide.com/fa/fa040.shtml

Advanced Search What Does this Indian Symbol Mean? Decorative and symbolic, these designs are seen frequently Visitors to the Southwest are often intrigued by the variety and aesthetic appeal of the design elements used in Native American arts and crafts. The designs on Indian pottery, weavings, baskets and silver and stone jewelry are so intricate and carefully constructed, it is inconceivable they are not configurations holding some deeper meaning, shaped from a forgotten age, relics of an arcane language, or symbols of some old and secret religion. In all cultures, symbols borrow from experience, vision, and religion and become individualized through the creative process of the artist/symbol-maker. The designs used in the Southwest are from varied sources and they have been adapted and used by divergent tribes. Some have sifted in slowly as different groups arrived bringing their own inventory of designs; others have arrived with new technologies; still others have origins and, therefore, meanings, that will never be deciphered. The designs may be decorative, symbolic or combinations of both. Meanings may change from tribe to tribe. In one location a symbol may have meaning and in an adjacent tribe be used entirely as a decorative element. In short, every variation is possible.

76. Crafts Report: CraftsScene native american crafts are consistently of finer quality than copies sometimes offered as genuine. Events such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show http://www.craftsreport.com/november02/cs.html

by Jim Weaver Native American Artists Featured at Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show W The event offers a special opportunity to meet the artists and to learn about and purchase their work. Katherine Padulo, chairperson for the 2002 show, says the decision to highlight Native American crafts grew from a recognition of its increasing popularity with collectors and the general public. The Native American exhibitors represent a number of western tribes from the United States and Canada including Shoshone-Yokut, Shawnee, Jemez Pueblo, Isleta Pueblo, Hopi, Spokane, Big Stone Cree, Shuswap/Stlitlimx, Pascua Yaqui, and Navajo. Ancestral and tribal traditions influence artists Black Eagle creates artifacts such as war shirts, medicine shields, warrior pipes, and pipe bags using real bison and deer sinews, rawhides and ground pigments from Mother Earth the way his Shoshone-Yokut ancestors did. Though difficult to obtain, Shoshone brain-tanned smoked deerskin and antique (pre-1900) beads are used in many of his finest pieces. Many of his creations come from dreams and revolve around the importance of living as a part of nature. A sculptor in clay and bronze, Joe Cajero Jr. grew up at the Jemez Pueblo in the mountains north of Albuquerque, N.M. As a child he accompanied his mother, a potter, to Indian art shows throughout the southwest. As a teenager he made small animal figures from clay and sold them to tourists. Following high school, he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts. Today Cajero is internationally known for his smiling Koshare figures (a black and white striped Pueblo clown figure used in ceremonies and dances).

Tribes Clothing Craft Projects Famous People Legends Recipes Songs, Dances, Games Creation stories teach that Native Americans have been where they are since the world was created. It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.
