A celebration of contemporary Native American art featuring work by artists from the nations of the Great Lakes original people
Featuring both established and emerging Native American artists from Michigan and beyond, this book celebrates the art of the Great Lakes region’s original people. The artists whose work is showcased in this book include sculptors Edmonia Lewis (Ojibwe) and Jason Quigno (Saginaw Chippewa), black ash and fiber artist Kelly Church (Potawatomi/Odawa, Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Nation), and multimedia artists George Morrison (Chippewa, Grand Potage Band) and Jim Denomie (Chippewa, Lac Courte Oreilles Band). Beautifully photographed, the baskets, beadwork, ceramics, clothing, film, graphic art, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture, woodwork, and works in birchbark demonstrate the breadth of Anishinaabe artistic practice. The book’s essays consider how these artists have responded to changes affecting their communities, from climate change to cultural shifts.
