This path we travel : celebrations of contemporary Native American creativity / with photographs by Walter Bigbee.

National Museum of the American Indian (U.S.). George Gustav Heye Center. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Fifteen Native artists representing a range of cultural backgrounds and artistic media created an installation exhibition based on their travels to sites representing the four cardinal directions, where they conceived works reflecting the traditions and sensibilities of indigenous peoples. The artists present statements about the project, accompanied by brief profiles of their lives and works. This Path We Travel reflects the strong thread of cultural and artistic continuity that binds contemporary Native American artists to their artistic forebears—a testament to the survival of indigenous innovation and tradition, despite overwhelming historical obstacles." -- Publisher.
