Authors: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Heather Ahtone, Joy Harjo, & Shana Bushyhead Condill

“The Land Carries our ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans” brings together works by many of today’s most boldly innovative Native American artists.

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, one of the leading artists and curators of her generation, has carefully chosen some fifty works across a diversity of practices—including weaving, beadwork, sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and video— that share the common thread of the land.
