"Erasure and Invisibility: A Conversation on Columbus Day and Representation of American Indians in Art." When these narratives are contrasted with artwork and images of American Indians made by American Indians, how might our understanding change? Using works of art from the permanent collection by N.C. Wyeth, Juane Quick-to-See Smith, Dan Namingha and others, explore how the narrative on American Indians evolves.

Join the conversation as we discuss the national narratives of Columbus Day, their parallel representation in art, and their role in shaping the public's ideas and (mis)understandings of American Indians.
