The Americana Indian : American Indians in the American Imagination November 3, 2009

Composed of seven major themes, this exhibition seeks to highlight the powerful cultural and political characteristics of the Americana Indian that pervade and buttress the collective identity of the nation. The installation aims to demonstrate the proliferation of conventional representations in popular culture and commerce, while questioning how the images work to convey a limited set of messages about Native peoples. The exhibit is curated by Brian Baker.
