This podcast was particularly interesting and fun for me because I knew the person that I did it with pretty darn well. I've known Anne Gartner and her husband, Jeffrey, for almost 20 years. They're, wonderful collectors, and I wanted to talk art, which of course this is what this podcast is all about, but also the fact that she was in the military.Anne was a Navy nurse in Vietnam on one of the ships out of Danang. As many people have heard, there's a constant thread throughout a lot of my episodes, and that thread is the war in Vietnam. I think it was a monumental event for so many in our generation and the ramifications can still be seen to this day.You can hear it in Anne's voice at certain points throughout the podcast. The resurgence of thought regarding some of the things that happened brings her to tears. It was a difficult experience, but one that also shaped the woman she is today. Anne ends up serving in the military for almost 40 years and ends up as a captain in the Navy (and that was just one of her careers).We also talk a lot about art and how one can become part of the culture. A culture of people that are very interested in art, and her case, Western and Native Arts. Anne and her husband Jeffrey took participating in the arts very seriously and it has evolved into them having an excellent collection and also fostering the preservation and education of art throughout their community. Anyhow, Anne was a wonderful guest and I think you will enjoy her story as much as I did.

In this episode we hear from artist Natalie Ball who dives right in sharing critical artworld survival insight gleaned from a life changing studio visit by artist Willie T. Williams while she was attending Yale School of Art. Among a long list of support tactics Willie imparted, the artist emplored Natalie to find a means to sustain a studio practice beyond sales, and as an artist, to always be in control of your work and process. Natalie also shares vulnerable truths from her experience as a Black Indigenous artist navigating both the Native artworld and the larger contemporary artworld. We chat about higher education and how it has been as a pathway of respite as Natalie navigated motherhood from a young age. We talk about the journey Natalie experienced having a child with a chronic illness and how she took a 5 year hiatus from art, stepping into a focused world of love and care for family back home on her territory. We talk about this current moment in time for Natalie - unpacking the need for administrative support in order to create the time to make the work and how art school does not always provide the tangible insight on how an artist can build this support into their career. Material and place informs Natalie's work most - from her studio practice to motherhood to work on her territory - everything is connected. She uplifts play and joy as critical components to her practice, noting the courage and intention it takes to create this response to a harsh world. Through her work and life, Natalie asserts that art is power and holds the ability to transform our way of thinking. In her practice she boldly asks her audience to open their hearts and minds to new ways of seeing, presenting a call to “Come with me!”. Natalie Ball was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She has a Bachelor's degree with a double major in Indigenous, Race & Ethnic Studies & Art from the University of Oregon. She furthered her education in Aotearoa (NZ) at Massey University where she attained her Master's degree with a focus on Indigenous contemporary art. Ball then relocated to her ancestral Homelands in Southern Oregon/Northern California to raise her three children. In 2018, Natalie earned her M.F.A. degree in Painting & Printmaking at Yale School of Art. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally. She is the recipient of the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation's Oregon Native Arts Fellowship 2021, the Ford Family Foundation's Hallie Ford Foundation Fellow 2020, the Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant 2020, Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2019, and the Seattle Art Museum's Betty Bowen Award 2018.

In this podcast, Cray interviews John Lukavic, the Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Native Arts and head of the Native Arts Department at the Denver Art Museum. John explains that his department includes indigenous arts of North America, arts of Africa, and arts of Oceania, but they are kept separate to maintain their identity. His primary focus is on indigenous arts of North America, and he emphasizes the importance of using indigenous ways of knowing, being seen, and doing as a guiding light for their work.The Denver Art Museum has always focused on contemporary indigenous art, rather than trying to preserve the ways of the past. Their indigenous art collection includes about 18,000 works of art that span from the 20th to the 21st century, with the biggest regional groups being the Southwest, Plains, and Northwest coast. Due to the nature of the historical works, the museum has to do rotations quite often.The conversation also touches on the ebb and flow of attention given to indigenous arts by non-native art institutions and the recent groundswell of interest in indigenous voices, which may be attributed to social events such as Black Lives Matter protests and the intersectionality movement. The conversation revolves around the Denver Art Museum's collection and how they acquire new pieces. They often work with collectors to build a collection that is donated to the museum over time or receive donations from individual donors.Massacre in America: Wounded Kneehttps://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/object/2016.174List of artworks and credit lines mentioned in John Lukavic's interview forBeyond the Art podcast5.1.23- Jamie Okuma (Luiseño, Shoshone-Bannock, Wailaki, and Okinawan), with contributions by Cameron Linton, Sandra Okuma, Pat Pruitt, Keri Ataumbi, and Tania Larson, Untitled, 2018–19.

In 2016, one of the largest tribal gatherings in North American history took place on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation in North Dakota. Thousands of indigenous people, from across the continent, came together "in defence of water" and to protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe mobilised supporters from across the country and the response was extraordinary. Thousands of indigenous people from across America and beyond joined together as "water protectors" and in solidarity against the "black snake" of the pipeline. The encampments evoked memories of previous native conflicts with central government, with tepees on the prairie and men on horseback. But this was a very modern movement, fuelled by social media, largely led by women and using the full force of indigenous art and culture. Nick Rankin travels to North Dakota to find out what happened at this controversial site, and to see how those events continue to resonate there today. He talks to local artists and activists, and to several of the original water protectors. How has the tribe been changed? In what ways has it altered their relationship with other tribes and with the surrounding non-native culture? How significant is the role of Native Arts and language in this new wave of environmental protest?

It's interesting to hear about the early days and what it was like to be in the bay area back then participating in both the music and art scenes.When it comes to music and movies specifically, Fred is quite erudite - plus, he loves early British motorcycles. It shows you the type of people that go into our business. People that have a wide array of interests.Even though Fred could have done a lot of things in his life professionally, whether it was the music industry or showbiz in general, he chose to stick with Native American art.

He started selling items in 1975 as a 23-year-old and even had a show at the gift shop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Philip goes on to discuss the gallery that he owned in Los Angeles, as well as his well-known friends and clients such as artists Tony Berlant and Billy Schenck, senator and silversmith Ben Nighthorse, and comedian George Carlin.I've known Philip for over 30 years. In fact, he was one of the first people I bought pottery from when I was still in the military in Los Angeles in 1988.

Dovie Thomason at the Arts Express Summer Conference 2022 Today, we have a treat for you—-a sneak peek of what you'll get at Arts Express Summer Conference from one of our fabulous presenters, Dovie Thomason, a Native American storyteller and author. After we tell you a bit more about Dovie and her experiences, we will share a recording of one of the stories she performed and recorded for the Utah Division of Arts and Museums in 2020, titled “Frog's Teeth.” The Story Behind the Story “Frog's Teeth”This story comes from a series titled “Stories Grandma Told Me.” This is not a story Dovie heard from her grandma. It was a story given to her when she was the mother of a child beginning to lose their teeth. The person who gave Dovie this story received it from her father's traditions as part of the Oneida First Nation in Ontario, Canada. We thank Jean Tokuda Irwin and our partners at the Utah Division of Arts and Museums for granting permission to use this recording and for introducing us to Dovie and sponsoring her at Arts Express this summer as a keynote speaker and presenter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGD_KkI4IbgDovie Thomason Biography Coming from the rich oral tradition of her Lakota and Plains Apache family, Dovie Thomason has had a lifetime of listening and telling the traditional Native stories that are the cultural “heartsong” of community values and memory. Both wise and mischievous, Dovie unfolds the layers of her indigenous worldview and teachings with respect, sly humor and rich vocal transformations. When she adds personal stories and untold histories, the result is a contemporary narrative of Indigenous North America told with elegance, wit, and passion. Her programs are a heartfelt sharing of Native stories she has had the privilege of hearing from Elders of many nations and are woven with why we need stories, how stories are a cultural guide in shaping values and making responsible choices, how stories build communities and celebrates our relationship with the Earth and all living beings. The oral tradition she gifts to listeners inspires delight in spoken language arts, encourages reading, supports literacy, can be used in classrooms to motivate better writing as students experience storytelling techniques, literary devices and effective communication. All of this takes place while they are exploring their own narratives and family values. Dovie has represented the U.S. as the featured storyteller throughout the world. In 2015, she was honored as the storyteller-writer in residence at the Centre for Creative Writing and Oral Culture at the University of Manitoba in Canada. Dovie has used her storytelling to advise the UCLA Film School on narrative in modern film, NASA on indigenous views of technology, the Smithsonian Associates' Scholars Program and the premier TEDx Leadership Conference. Her role as a traditional cultural artist and educator has been honored by the National Storytelling Network's ORACLE: Circle of Excellence Award and the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers' Traditional Storyteller Award.Links Mentioned: Register for Arts ExpressDovie Thomason's WebsiteMore stories by Dovie on the Utah Division of Arts and Museums YouTube Channel“Turtle Learns to Fly”“Dog's Tails”“Bear Child”Follow Us: BYU ARTS Partnership NewsletterAdvancingArtsLeadership.comSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifyInstagramFacebookDon't forget to peruse the bank of lesson plans produced by the BYU ARTS Partnership Arts in dance, drama, music, visual arts, media arts.

And we hear words from the late artist, Jim Denomie, with reflections on his work. Here's reporter, Leah Lemm with more.Reporter:The American Indian Community Housing Organization, AICHO, will host a virtual panel with four Native leaders, discussing their perspectives on Indigenous approaches to preventing suicide. Additionally, the panel will explore available resources and access to cultural and healing traditions. Luther Talks is a Cheyenne River Lakota citizen, and Minnesota Department of Health's Tribal Suicide Prevention Coordinator. And he speaks to the need for having these discussions.Luther Talks:There's no single path that leads to suicide. Suicide is complex, and yet suicide is preventable. So what we do know in 2019 is that American Indians have the highest rate of suicide in Minnesota. The rate is 37.5 per 100,000. Suicide is the sixth leading cause of death among American Indians in Minnesota.Reporter:Suicide prevention is multifaceted, and the panel will explore how culture plays a role.Luther Talks:Yeah, one of the strongest protective factors to prevent suicide is a sense of belonging to culture and community. Within the sense of belonging, it's connection. Connection to language, connection to culture, connection to Indigenous knowledge, and connection to land.Reporter:The panel takes place on the evening of March 24th, via Zoom, more information at AICHO, AICHO.org. If you or someone you know needs help, resources are available. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK, that's 1-800-273-8255, or text the Crisis Text Line by texting, "Hello," to 741-741. Next, Indian Country, the art world, and beyond are remembering the life and impact of artist, Jim Denomie.Jim Denomie:And so I created creative ways to speak about truth and history.Reporter:Jim Denomie was from the Lac Courte Oreilles Band and lived in Franconia, Minnesota. He received several awards, including the Bush Artist Fellowship and Native Arts and Cultural National Artist Fellowship. Jim Denomie spoke with Minnesota Native News in 2019 after receiving the McKnight Distinguished Artist Award. He didn't define or describe his work. Instead, he revealed an example of how his work was influenced to speak about truth and history.Jim Denomie:I was in an exhibition the last few years, a traveling exhibition about these ledger drawings and the history of these imprisoned Native men who started this genre. And after I got invited to be part of that, I was aware of the ledger drawings, but I didn't really investigate it a whole lot. And then after I was invited to participate, I did. And I realized that my work is very much the same theme as these imprisoned artists were documenting current events, and history and personal viewpoints.Reporter:Some of the most famous ledger art was created in Florida at Fort Marion. Between 1875 and 1878, 72 Native men were imprisoned due to their connections to the Red River Wars in what would become Oklahoma. Their captors encouraged the men to create art, and the men documented their deeds. Jim Denomie related to this.Jim Denomie:I started to do these paintings. Well, this genre of narrative paintings, and visual storytelling when I was in art school at the U of M. And there, not everybody understood what I was doing, but, like I said to me, it was just doing something that I understood and what was felt natural and important.Reporter:And outpouring of remembrances continues on social media, a showing of how respected Jim Denomie was as a caring and supportive relative and community member. He was 66 when he passed away and began his next journey. For Minnesota Native News, I'm Leah Lemm.

The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition is located in Minneapolis and its goal is to work towards and implement a national strategy that increases awareness and supports healing for the trauma experienced by the many affected by the boarding school policy of 1869 in the US. For over 150 years, hundreds of thousands of indigenous children were taken from their communities and brought to these locations where languages and beliefs were forcibly suppressed. In June Secretary Haaland announced the Federal Boarding School Initiative. Here's Interior Secretary, Deb Haaland at the National Congress of American Indians' mid-year a conference in June.Interior Secretary Deb Haaland:The department will launch the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative. At no time in history, have the records or documentation of this policy been compiled or analyzed to determine the full scope of its reaches and effects. We must uncover the truth about the loss of human life and the lasting consequences of these schools. This investigation will identify passporting school facilities and sites, the location of known and possible burial sites located at or near school facilities and the identities and tribal affiliations of children who were taken there. I know that this process will be long and difficult.Reporter:The initiative directs the Interior Department under the supervision of Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland to prepare a report by April 1st, 2022.

“Humanity is messy, each of us starts with ourselves, it's horribly messy and then multiply that times millions. And that's an incredible, lovely mess.” So says Joy Harjo, the 23rd United States Poet Laureate, and the first Native American to hold that post. She is the author of nine books of poetry, several plays, and childrens books, and two memoirs—and is an internationally renowned performer and writer of the Muscogee nation, with an innumerable number of prizes and fellowships at her back. Today, we sit down to discuss her second memoir, POET WARRIOR, which just came out. It is beautiful—not only the story of her life, but a vehicle for deep wisdom about language, metaphor, and ritual. We—as individuals, as communities, as nations, and as humankind—exist in a collective story field, Harjo tells us. Everyone's story must have a place, a thread within the larger tapestry—and our story field must constantly shift to include even the most difficult stories, the ones we want to forget and repress. But, as she remarks, the hard stories provide the building blocks for our house of knowledge—we cannot evolve without them. To move forward, we must find ourselves in the messy story of humanity, assume our place as part of the earth in this time and in these challenges. For Harjo, it is when we turn to song, poetry, and the arts that we are able to re-root ourselves in the voice of inner truth, a knowing that has access to stories past, present, and future. And it is this wisdom of eternal knowledge that will help guide us forward—if we only stop to listen. Joy is also the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the PEN USA Literary Award for Nonfiction, the Jackson Prize from the Poetry Society of America, the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. Harjo is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Rasmuson United States Artist Fellowship. She is a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, Board of Directors Chair of the Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, and holds a Tulsa Artist Fellowship. In 2014 she was inducted into the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame.

The intention of my work is to create contemporary Indigenous icon imagery, recover and elevate the beliefs of Alaska Native people as equal to those of the Western world. My paintings of Alaska landscapes and other subjects such as seals and ice represent the connection to the environment of the subjects in these portraits. During the long introspective period of the pandemic lockdown, my mind wandered to landscapes visited long ago, Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands and Chile. Some of my paintings will reflect these places. Having witnessed the pain and suffering of the most vulnerable in 2020, my work may suggest the warm embrace of refuge and care. In all my paintings, I invite the observer to quiet the mind and consider the belief that all things, living and inanimate are instilled the light of divine energy.

Today we have the chance to speak with Raven Chacon, and to learn more about the experiences that have shaped his work across a variety of forms – from his music compositions, to his visual scores and installations, through to his leadership in the Native American Composer Apprentice Project and his piece American Ledger No. 2, currently on view at the Plains Art Museum. Raven Chacon's artist site:http://spiderwebsinthesky.com/This conversation moves across an array of lands and traditions– from Navajo Nation to Aristotle's Lyceum, from string quartets to heavy metal – and a presence that connects many of the pieces Raven discusses is his time as a guest with the Water Protectors at Standing Rock in 2016. Afterwards, he reflected on the experience, he wrote this: “The camps became the imagined microcosm of a North America where we were still the majority, self-sustained and self-governed, no other direct action than simply being alive and retaining our ways. What became apparent—even in the short time I was there and under the shadow of militaristic surveillance—was a shared experience: remembering one's identity, while at the same time re-imagining who we aimed to be. What was achieved there was not a funneling of a pan-Indian sameness, but rather a radial explosion of every potential dreamt history.”Raven Chacon is a composer, performer and installation artist from Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation. As a solo artist, collaborator, or with the Postcommodity, he has exhibited or performed at a wide range of institutions and spaces including the Whitney Biennial, documenta 14, San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Chaco Canyon, and The Kennedy Center. Every year, he teaches 20 students to write string quartets for the Native American Composer Apprentice Project (NACAP). Raven is the recipient of the United States Artists fellowship in Music, The Creative Capital award in Visual Arts, The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation artist fellowship, and the American Academy's Berlin Prize for Music Composition.Works and connections mentioned in this episode:// Native American Composers Apprentice Project (excellent feature here by NPR Performance Today):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0U_C2iKIGY// An Anthology of Chants Operations LP:https://ravenchacon.bandcamp.com/album/an-anthology-of-chants-operations// The Ears Between Worlds are Always Speaking installation in Athens, Greece:http://www.postcommodity.com/TheEarsBetweenWorlds.html// Dispatch, a collaboration with Candice Hopkins:https://disclaimer.org.au/contents/unsettling-scores/dispatch// STTLMNT, An Indigenous Digital World Wide Occupation:https://www.sttlmnt.org/// American Ledger No. 2:http://spiderwebsinthesky.com/portfolio/items/american-ledger-no-2/// For Zitkála Šá series of prints at Crow's Shadow Institute for the Artshttps://crowsshadow.org/artist/raven/// Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studieshttps://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/hungry-listening// Radio Alhara:https://worldwidefm.net/show/ww-palestine-radio-alhara

This episode was a recommendation from our wonderful spirit, Tom, from Apocalypse in Review podcast.This week, Emily tackles the very strange story of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. Sarah Winchester suffered many hard losses in her life, and in her later years, she used the immense fortune she'd inherited to build an incredible 24,000 square foot mansion. Continually under construction from 1886-1922, the home had no formal blue print. Rumor has it, Sarah would hold nightly seances to convene with the spirits, who would in turn tell her where and what to build next. These instructions from beyond the veil were then handed to her dedicated construction crew, who carried out Sarah's every wish, no matter how unusual. In the end, the property sprawled across 4.5 acres and contained oddities such as a cabinet spanning the length of 30 rooms, stairways that lead to no where and 13 bathrooms, only one of which was functional. Was Sarah truly haunted by the ghosts of Winchester victims or was she simply a lonely, heart broken philanthropist who used her fortune to lift a local community? Sarah left no diary and answered no interviews, so we will likely never truly know.Don't forge to check out this week's spotlight, The Native Arts and Culture Foundation, which supports the arts and cultures of Native American, Alaskan Native and Hawaiian Native communities https://www.nativeartsandcultures.org/donateThis week's featured podcast trailers were fromKudzu Killers: Homicide and Sweet Tea https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kudzu-killers-homicide-and-sweet-tea/id1517389908And The True Crime Witch Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-true-crime-witch-podcast/id1483665898Merchandise for Drink Drunk Dead can be purchased at https://www.teepublic.com/user/drink-drunk-dead-podcastBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Dallas based trader Michael McKissick sits down with host Mark Sublette during the Antique American Indian Art Show in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This episode of the Art Dealer Diaries covers a nearly 60 year long native art dealing career that begins with a pair of moccasins bought at a rodeo in the 1960's and continues to this day. Formerly a cryogenic systems designer, McKissick established a collection of Native American art that became his initial inventory after opening Waterbird Traders in the 1980's. Michael goes on to discuss the journey that the love of Native American art has taken him on and what's in store for the future of the industry.

[Unedited] Layli Long Soldier with Krista Tippett

The Oglala Lakota poet. “I wanted as much as possible to avoid this nostalgic portraiture of a Native life.” The reward and joy of patience. The difference between guilt, shame, and freedom from denial. When apologies are done well. Layli Long Soldier is a writer, a mother, a citizen of the United States, and a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation. She has a way of opening up this part of her life, and of American life, to inspire self-searching and tenderness. Her award-winning first book of poetry, WHEREAS, is a response to the U.S. government’s official apology to Native peoples in 2009, which was done so quietly, with no ceremony, that it was practically a secret. Layli Long Soldier offers entry points for us all — to events that are not merely about the past, and to the freedom real apologies might bring. Layli Long Soldier is the recipient of the 2015 Lannan Fellowship for Poetry and a 2015 National Artist Fellowship from the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation. Her first book of poetry, WHEREAS, is a winner of the multiple awards including the Whiting Award, and a finalist for the National Book Award. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
