Indian Country Area Events Calendar

When I Remember I See Red American Indian Art and Activism in California features contemporary art by First Californians and other American Indian artists with strong ties to the state. Spanning the past five decades, the exhibition includes more than 65 works in various media from painting, sculpture, prints, and photography, to installation and video. More than 40 artists are represented, among them pioneers such as Rick Bartow, George Blake, Dalbert Castro, Frank Day, Harry Fonseca, Frank LaPena, Jean LaMarr, James Luna, Leatrice Mikkelsen, Karen Noble Tripp, Fritz Scholder, Brian Tripp, and Franklin Tuttle, as well as emerging and mid-career artists. Taking cues from their forebears, members of the younger generation often combine art and activism, embracing issues of identity, politics, and injustice to produce innovative and frequently enlightening work. The exhibition transcends borders, with some California artists working outside the state, and several artists of non-California tribes living and creating within its boundaries. Diverse cultural influences coupled with the extraordinary dissemination of images made possible by technology have led to new forms of expression, making When I Remember I See Red a richly layered experience.

Even as Native nations achieve greater levels of self-determination, Indian Country continues to be influenced by U.S. federal law and policy. The Udall Internship places students in Senate, House, and federal agency offices to learn firsthand how the U.S. government works with Native nations. Interns will gain a better understanding of the government to government relationship and how they can use this knowledge on behalf of their tribes.

New year, new reading list! Our first pick in 2020 for Native American Literature Book Club, hosted by the Center for Poets and Writers at OSU-Tulsa, is the breakout novel from Cheyenne and Arapaho author Tommy Orange.

Winner of the Hemingway Foundation / PEN Award, the Carnegie Medal, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, THERE THERE took the literary world by storm last year. While many critics pointed toward the novelty of the book's urban setting, Orange's novel actually draws from a long and rich history of urban Indigenous literatures (we'll talk more about it!). There's no doubt that Orange's achievement signals an exciting new wave in Native American literature with its own unique and varied voices.
