Join us in Homelands: Mnë’nának, Māēnāēwah, Tešišik to explore a single work of art in depth in this program that encourages presence and promotes well-being. A reinstallation of the former “American West” gallery, Homelands reinterprets historical works and foregrounds contemporary Native art, centering Indigenous voices and honoring the region’s cultural roots through themes of land and water.
