The land lies at the heart of Native American cultures. On this field trip, students discover contemporary Native American artists whose works are grounded in an enduring relationship with the land. They see how the Indigenous artists in this exhibition use diverse practices—weaving, sculpture, beadwork, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and video—to convey their ideas and beliefs. Through a culminating art-making activity, students express their own personal connections to the natural environment.
