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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis beautifully illustrated book features both well-known and emerging artists, from G. Peter Jemison (Seneca Nation of Indians, Heron Clan) and Kay WalkingStick (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma\/European descent) to Eric-Paul Riege (Diné) and Rose B. Simpson (Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico). Smith brings her personal perspective to the Native American experience and Indigenous connections to the land. In her essay, heather ahtone examines the history and practices of landscape art, shedding light on how it is both a tool for self-expression and a means to understanding the natural world. Celebrated poet and memoirist Joy Harjo pays homage to the land in her poem \"Once the World Was Perfect.\" Shana Bushyhead Condill discusses the themes and practices that distinguish these artworks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans\u003c\/i\u003e shares new perspectives on these visionary and provocative artists while offering a timely celebration of contemporary Indigenous art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eSeptember 22, 2023-January 15, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, Connecticut\u003cbr\u003eApril 18-September 15, 2024\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJaune Quick-to-See Smith\u003c\/b\u003e (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation) is a noted artist and curator.
