How the Miami People Live
Miami Art Museum
Sept. 16 - Dec. 13
Public Opening: September 18, 4 - 6 pm
The
exhibition features artifacts and objects from the Miami Tribe whose
original homeland encompassed the midwestern lands and rivers now named
after them. Displays date from a facsimile of a Wea Deer Hide Map,
circa 1775, to contemporary art by Miami Tribal members. The exhibition
celebrates the vibrant heritage of the Miami Tribe, currently
undergoing a language and culture revitalization effort.
Highlights
of the opening on September 18th are welcoming remarks by Miami
University President, David Hodge, and the dedication of the site for
Miami Elder Eugene Brown's bronze sculpture, "A Tribe Named Miami, A
Surveyor's Stake, A Town Named Oxford."
Dad will not let me see this fine exhibit but you know how chocolate labs are. I might just tear up the place.
