Happenings

This exhibition explores the meanings of the unique nineteenth-century "artist's book" that was recently discovered among the holdings of Houghton Library at Harvard University. This ledger contains seventy-seven colored drawings created by a number of Plains Indian warriors, illustrating their most outstanding feats in wars against both U.S. forces and tribal enemies. Wiyohpiyata puts these images into context by placing them in dialogue with other objects and images from the Peabody Museum's ethnographic collections, some of which are said to have been collected from Sitting Bull. The exhibition will be open indefinitely.
