listener comments? Feedback? Shoot us a text!Day of the Dead is Subversive Spirituality! Long before the arrival of Europeans, some of the Indigenous Mesoamerican traditions of honoring the dead were celebrated with two specific feasts: Mikailwitl (feast of the dead), and Wey Mikailwitl (great feast of the dead). These feasts were celebrated in early August through mid-September. In fact, we are currently in the “month” of Mikailwitl right now, as it began on August 8th or the day Chikome Kozkakwawtli in the ancestral Mexika calendar. These celebrations were dedicated to honoring the dead through dance, song, and offerings of food and drink. Altars and burials were adorned with marigolds, a sacred flower thought to attract the spirits so that they might enjoy the offerings left in their memory.Today, these celebrations have been blended with Catholic traditions, and take place on All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Many think that Mikailwitl and Wey Mikailwitl were absorbed into the Allhallowtide (All Saints Day and All Souls Day) under the direction of the Catholic Church, as these Christian holidays also involve honoring the dead. Unfortunately, this popular claim is often repeated without any evidence to back it up. For example, a column about Dia de Muertos published on the website weareyourvoicemag states “in an attempt to convert the natives to Catholicism, the Spanish colonizers moved the celebration to November 1 and 2 (All Saints Day), which is when we celebrate it currently.”But is this how it really happened? Listen and find out as we explore the different ways that our ancestors negotiated and navigated the colonial process by masking their rituals and ceremonies behind a catholic facade!

Long before the arrival of Europeans, some of the Indigenous Mesoamerican traditions of honoring the dead were celebrated with two specific feasts: Mikailwitl (feast of the dead), and Wey Mikailwitl (great feast of the dead). These feasts were celebrated in early August through mid-September. In fact, we are currently in the “month” of Mikailwitl right now, as it began on August 8th or the day Chikome Kozkakwawtli in the ancestral Mexika calendar. These celebrations were dedicated to honoring the dead through dance, song, and offerings of food and drink. Altars and burials were adorned with marigolds, a sacred flower thought to attract the spirits so that they might enjoy the offerings left in their memory.Today, these celebrations have been blended with Catholic traditions, and take place on All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Many think that Mikailwitl and Wey Mikailwitl were absorbed into the Allhallowtide (All Saints Day and All Souls Day) under the direction of the Catholic Church, as these Christian holidays also involve honoring the dead. Unfortunately, this popular claim is often repeated without any evidence to back it up. For example, a column about Dia de Muertos published on the website weareyourvoicemag states “in an attempt to convert the natives to Catholicism, the Spanish colonizers moved the celebration to November 1 and 2 (All Saints Day), which is when we celebrate it currently.”But is this how it really happened? Listen and find out as we explore the different ways that our ancestors negotiated and navigated the colonial process by masking their rituals and ceremonies behind a catholic facade!Cover art: 1680 Pueblo Revolt at Hopi, Fred Nakayoma Kabotie, 1976.

Word nerds and punctuation perfectionists rejoice! Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski ends the season in grand, grammatically correct fashion with Dr. Maggie DePond, exhibition copy editor for the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. Maggie also lends her talents to El Palacio magazine, casting a last, learned glance over every issue before it goes live.  The pair geek out over the intricacies of language, style guide rivalries, and challenges associated with distilling eons of information into 100-word captions. Buckle in for syntax shenanigans, a touch of ASMR, and permission to end sentences with a preposition. Ever wondered who edits all the text accompanying every exhibition in the four state museums of Santa Fe (the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Museum of International Folk Art, the New Mexico History Museum, and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture)?  The answer is Dr. Maggie DePond. The work, which is often tedious, requires a tenacious character and plenty of red pencils.  For all its old-fashioned aspects, copy editing is a revolutionary profession. Who else but a copy editor could refer to medieval usage of the singular “they/them” to support our modern personal pronoun debate? “I feel that by doing that,” Maggie says, “I'm also teaching other writers what language is, the spectrum of language, and how language can evoke feelings.” And, by extension, every lucky museum goer in the state.

The exhibit is located at the Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center and was curated by Wendy Savage.///TRANSCRIPT:Reporter: This is Minnesota Native News. I'm Leah Lemm, in for Marie Rock. Coming up, artist Carl Gawboy is showing brand new work in Duluth. The art exhibit, “New Paintings, Old Stories," features Anishinaabe and Finnish culture, landscapes, and teachings. The exhibit is located at the Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center and was curated by Wendy Savage. Here's the story. Reporter: Carl Gawboy's works have appeared in over 75 exhibits. Some of his works live in permanent collections, including at the Minnesota Historical Society, the Department of Interior, and the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Carl Gawboy is from the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe and is of Finnish descent. Carl Gawboy: I'm Carl Gawboy. I'm a retired teacher. And I'm from Ely, originally. Reporter: Outside the American Indian Community Housing Organization in Duluth is a billboard showcasing the latest Carl Gawboy art exhibit. To one side, features a photo of the artist. And the other side shows the watercolor painting, Vainomoinen and Nanaboojoo. These are the names of two beings from Finnish and Ojibwe tales. Though the painting depicts two men around a campfire, a tent among tall trees, an ax to the side. And you can almost hear the crackle of the fire. They are fishing buddies. Scenes like this is what Carl Gawboy is known for, showing how people lived their lives in their time. Carl Gawboy: That's what I kind of specialized in because I just looked around and saw other Indian artists weren't showing the mundane acts of everyday life in the past that I was really interested in. So that's the Art of the Everyday, but... Reporter: There are over 30 pieces on display and many of them are new. Carl Gawboy: So about 15 of these are new works. And the other half of the gallery are some older things, some illustrations that I did for a publication, a couple of prints, clay prints of works I had done earlier. So it's a pretty good show, showing the older work and the brand new work. The new work that I did since 2021 is back to my Art of the Everyday, so. Reporter: Carl Gawboy has had diverse subject matter throughout his career. And he brings us through a few of his works in the gallery. Carl Gawboy: I've got men planting trees in the 1930s with an organization called the Indian CCCs, The Civilian Conservation Corps that was started up in during the depression to give unemployed people work. There's a couple of scenes from homesteaders, separating milk and plowing new ground for a homesteading scene. You have an old man with his tobacco drawing in a shed. Two paintings of guides. One of guide's filleting fish for his clients. Reporter: Wendy Savage curated the exhibit. Wendy Savage: I'm Wendy Savage. And I'm an enrolled member at the Fond du Lac Reservation. And I'm also an artist and a curator. Reporter: Carl Gawboy has been a mentor to Wendy Savage. And she considers him a National Treasure. Wendy Savage: And I was lucky enough to meet Carl back in the '80s. And Carl invited me to come on with a group with him and George Morrison, and Bonnie Wallace, and Kent Smith to be part of the Ojibwe Art Expo. And so, I did that for 17 years with him. And then, I was fortunate enough to have him also as a teacher of mine. Reporter: Carl Gawboy, being a National Treasure extends beyond his prolific artistry. His influence on and support of other artists has rippled throughout the art world. Wendy Savage: He's been a great influence. He's been like a mentor to me. And he has also always encouraged me in all of my artwork. Because back in the '70s and the '80, there wasn't a place for Native American art. And most galleries were shunning it, especially in this area because it wasn't considered fine art. So many galleries, even in my senior show of my BFA, they didn't want to show a fully-beaded cradle board, because it wasn't fine art. But when I would show my work to Carl, Carl was always encouraging… Reporter: The exhibit, New Paintings, Old Stories, is on display every Friday through May 27th. More information is on the American Indian Community Housing Organization website, aicho.org, A-I-C-H-O DOT O-R-G. For Minnesota Native News, I'm Leah Lemm.

Nicknamed “The City Different,” New Mexico's capital city serves as a thriving creative hub; for proof, look to the trippy installations at Meow Wolf, the Museum of International Folk Art, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, and the classic Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. (One might argue that a day trip to Bandelier National Monument or a turquoise-filled retail therapy session at Wind River could be equally inspiring.)Santa Fe is also home to many a tasty snack. We're not just talking Hatch chiles—though those should be enjoyed, too, specifically in a cheeseburger at Shake Foundation and atop world-class Tex-Mex fare at classic joints like Tia Sophia's, Palacio Café, and the Pink Adobe.

The existence of that meal, which held little importance to either the Pilgrims or the Wampanoag, is the basis of the Thanksgiving myth. The myth, re-told in school Thanksgiving pageants and TV shows, is not accurate and is harmful to Native people, especially to the Wampanoag.  In 1970, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts planned a banquet to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. They asked an Aquinnah Wampanoag man, Frank James, also known as Wamsutta, to speak at the banquet. However, when they learned what he was planning to say, the true history, they forbade his speech. Frank James would not give a speech that they rewrote, and instead he planned the first National Day of Mourning on Cole's Hill in Plymouth. Fifty one years later the United American Indians of New England still meet at noon on Cole's Hill on the US Thanksgiving Holiday to remember the genocide of Native people and the theft of Native lands and erasure of Native culture. Joining me to help us learn more about the Wampanoag and the dangers of the Thanksgiving myth is Kisha James, enrolled Aquinnah Wampanoag, one of the organizers of the National Day of Mourning, and granddaughter of Frank James.

From technological innovations to societal attitudes, a lot has changed in the last twenty years. As evolutionary processes go, the gallery-wide refresh of the celebrated permanent exhibition Here, Now and Always (HNA), which opened at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture in 1997, offers exciting opportunities for greater collaboration with the Southwest's Native peoples and vibrant new storytelling techniques.  Host Charlotte Jusinski chats with Tony Chavarria, Curator of Ethnology at MICA/Laboratory of Anthropology, and Curatorial Assistant Lillia McEnaney about the tangible and conceptual transformations. The trio also explores the history of museums as Euro-American colonial institutions and their future role as inclusive cultural facilitators.  From the moment it opened, HNA was groundbreaking. “It was a unique exhibition, especially for its time, because it was an exhibition that featured and relied heavily on native voice,” says Tony. That voice, essential to any authentic presentation, is (still) too often left out of standard interpretations at other institutions. HNA didn't simply include a few examples; it wove a rich Native narrative by Native peoples through every element. “Native voice actually went into much of the planning of the exhibition. [ ] The group of different curators, advisers, the Indian advisory panel––which also serves the museum in other contexts––were all involved in both selecting objects, writing about objects and interpreting objects as well,” Tony says.  Twenty years later, the museum's commitment to tribal collaboration is stronger than ever. The revitalized exhibit continues its legacy of connecting ancestor to descendant, first-person storyteller with visitor. HNA utilizes ancient artifacts and modern pieces, such as the traditional Laguna dress that Deb Haaland wore for her swearing in as the United States secretary of the interior.  These state-of-the-art interactive displays are designed to emphasize the fluid nature of Native life. “You can add some more of those things [ ] that engage younger audiences into the museum to help enhance the learning experience,” says Tony of the bells and whistles planned for the space.  A revamped Here, Now and Always will broaden the visitor experience, immersing them in a vibrant, living culture. Tony and Lillia also hope that the exhibit will provoke additional conversations––about how we learn, how we listen, and how we confront colonization so as not to repeat mistakes from the past. “It's more important than ever,” Lillia says, “for non-Native folks, especially, to understand the Indigenous histories of the lands we all live in and occupy.” Take a virtual tour of the new exhibit: MIAC: HNA Gallery.

Failure and Flow with Glass Artist Robert 'Spooner' Marcus, Clearly Indigenous at Museum of Indian Arts and Culture

Glass isn't typically the first material that folks associate with Indigenous artwork. And yet, the medium lends itself well to unique cultural interpretations, combining fundamental elements of earth, air, and fire with generational artistry. Native artists have been drawn to glassblowing since the 1970s, utilizing it to reinterpret traditional forms and tell thoroughly modern stories. Host Charlotte Jusinski explores the hypnotic beauty on display at Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC), the first exhibition of its kind on view until June 2022. Joining Charlotte are her co-host for this episode Dr. Matthew Martinez, interim director of the museum, and Robert “Spooner” Marcus, one of the glassblowers featured in the exhibit. The two men share a bond that stretches back to their childhood on the reservation in Ohkay Owingeh, NM, an experience that informs their perspectives on art and colors this conversation.   This is perhaps one of the most aesthetically beautiful exhibitions ever to grace Santa Fe's cultural landscape. That's saying something given the city's renowned collection of museums. Visitors to Clearly Indigenous descend from MIAC's bright galleries into a dimly lit space, a journey that feels almost subterranean, forcing the senses to adjust to a new environment. This darkness emphasizes the molten glow emanating from within some of these intensely fragile pieces and recalls their beginnings in a blazing furnace. The effect casts a regal air over the entire exhibit. Juxtapose the majestic characteristics of glass with the personable, often irreverent nature of its artists. Spooner is warm and easygoing despite working with this daunting, often dangerous material. “Glass is a very fickle thing,” he says. “If you don't respond to what it's doing, then it's not going to cooperate.” That Zen-like approach to his craft was born when he answered a newspaper ad for a production line glassblower––no experience necessary. Spooner's earliest pieces were juice cups, fashioned assembly line style over and over again. But the utilitarian end product didn't diminish the allure of working with glass. “I walked into the shop, there's this big furnace that's blazing, and I basically did not turn back. I really knew from that moment that it was going to be in my life for a relatively long time.”  Twenty years later, Spooner's technique-driven work is on display at MIAC alongside 32 fellow Indigenous glass artists in an exhibition that includes pieces by Dale Chihuly, the artist credited with bringing the medium to Indian Country. Clearly Indigenous highlights an immense range of forms and the ways in which glass can reference the past while remaining wholly modern. Spooner agrees. He hopes the show inspires others to become better acquainted with the methods and magic of glass art. “It's that spark, that interest in creating that hopefully an exhibit like this [creates]. Somebody will see it and say, ‘Hey, you know, I want to try doing this!' or maybe buy a piece of glass or go take a lesson.” Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass is at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture through June 16, 2022.

Talking Out Your Glass podcast

Dan Friday's Future Artifacts Creativity was fostered in Dan Friday by his family from an early age. Growing up immersed in the rich cultural heritage of the Lummi Nation meant that making things with his hands was a regular activity. Typically working with simple themes and forms, the artist often employs subtle silhouettes when making his glass totems. His more narrative work reflects a personal expression or means of processing a life event, often with an underlying statement. His latest works will be on view at the Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, Washington, in Future Artifacts, on view July 3 – October 10, 2021. Friday says: “As the recipient of the Bill Holm Grant from the Burke Museum, with my sister I have been studying Coast Salish artifacts in their archives. It is a surreal experience to hold items of your oldest known family members, even see their handwriting on treasured belongings. With all of the information, images, and data I have already catalogued, I hope to make inspired pieces of glass: the Skexe (Coast Salish wooly Dog) Blanket Panels, and The Sxwo'le (Reef Net) projects, to mention a few. It will be my way to document not only my family's history, but the artwork of the Coast Salish people. Glass is a medium that will survive millennia, and a great way to tell a story to future generations. It is, metaphorically, a contemporary painting on the cave wall.”  He continues: “The preparation for this show at MoNA has already given me great satisfaction, not just the physical act of producing these works, but the connections I have made within the beautiful and resilient Coast Salish community.”   https://www.monamuseum.org/future-artifacts A lifelong resident of Washington State's Puget Sound region, Friday maintains an independent glass studio in Seattle. He has worked for Dale Chihuly at the Boathouse Studio since 2000 as a glass blower collaborating with other studio staff on Chilhuly glass designs. This experience helped Friday expand and perfect technical skills in glass working and increased his insight into the relationship and interaction between artist and the public. Working at Pilchuck Glass School since 2006 as a teacher, gaffer, and coordinator for the hot shop and wood and metals departments, Friday has fabricated and facilitated works for international artists. He has also assisted James Mongrain since 2009 on various glass blowing projects, domestically and abroad.  Working at Tacoma Glass Museum since 2004, Friday is part of a specialized team of glass sculptors, demonstrating a variety of methods to educate the public about the medium of glass. He has also collaborated and assisted prominent artists in the creation of major glass art commissions and installations, including James Drake, Nicolas Africano, Wendy Maruyama, and Charles Ledray, to name a few. As personal assistant for Paul Marioni, Friday cast and cold worked glass tiles for a large-scale installation.  Friday has taught at the University of Washington, Pilchuck Glass School, and the Haystack Craft Center. He has been awarded residencies at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, the Burke Museum in Seattle, the Corning Museum in New York, and the Dream Community in Tai Pei, Taiwan. He is the recipient of the Bill Holm Grant, the People's choice award from the Bellevue Art Museum, and the Discovery Fellowship through the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts. Represented by Blue Rain Gallery (Santa Fe), Stonington Gallery (Seattle), Ainsley Gallery (Toronto), Habatat (West Palm, Florida), and Schantz (Stockbridge, Massachusetts), Friday's work in glass is contemporary in format while maintaining Native American qualities. Cultivating his artistic vision with strong influence from his indigenous roots in the Pacific Northwest, the artist allows craft, form and idea to drive his work from conception to object.

Kathleen explains her journey as a potter and how she got to where she is today and what it took to get there. It's a long hard road to be a potter especially when you're trying to do things that are unique and less traditional pueblo pottery, but Kathleen has triumphed. In fact, Kathleen was recently awarded the Living Treasure Award for New Mexico at MIAC (The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture) and was supposed to have a one-person show for this great honor. Unfortunately, it opened in April of 2020. Clearly, with all that's been going on with COVID-19, the show has been put off through 2021. Pandemic aside, Kathleen has mastered her art and I think anyone that enjoys raw passion and creativity will love Kathleen Wall.

Métis artist Jaime Black calls her REDress Project an aesthetic response to a critical national issue. Her installations of donated red dresses symbolize missing women, with numbers reaching into the thousands. Quilter Susan Hudson (Navajo) also depicts women’s clothes and moccasins as a reminder of the women who disappeared or were murdered. The upcoming Santa Fe Indian Market organized by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts is focusing on female strength and resilience and has a number of events dedicated to raising awareness of MMIW. As politicians and women’s advocates work to change local and national policy, so too are artists reminding people of a troubling legacy. We’ll talk with some of them who are exploring the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

David Cornsilk is a modern day Martin Luther King to the Cherokee Freedmen and an outspoken critic of wannabe Indians and frauds David Cornsilk is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation who lives in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He is a genealogist and has a Bachelor of Science Degree from Northeastern Oklahoma State. He is a leading Cherokee nationalist today. He also held a voluntary position as Managing Editor for the Cherokee Advocate, the only non-tribally controlled newspaper in the community. He was also heavily involved in the passage of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act in 1990. This act made it illegal for non- Indian artist to identify his/her art as "Indian art" unless they show proof of tribal enrollment. In 1990 he worked with John Guthrie to expose the problem of Indian art fraud in eastern Oklahoma. Literally hundreds of artists were claiming to be Cherokee with no proof, so they set out to bring the issue to the attention of the public by handing out fliers and writing letters to the editor of local papers. The ensuing conflict, which lead to Cornsilk being physically attacked by one of those artists, is referred to as the "Indian Art War." The attention drawn to the issue helped Congress move on the issue and pass the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. Both Cornsilk and his father, John Cornsilk, are active in Cherokee Nation and United Keetoowah Band politics and were instrumental in winning citizenship rights for the Cherokee Freedmen as well as equal rights for gay Cherokee citizens. He and his father run the Cornsilks.com website and political blog. http://www.cornsilks.com facebook.com/cherokeesevenstar
