NATIVE AMERICAN

The Native American holdings represent one of the smallest portions of the collection comprising only about one hundred and fifty objects. Groups whose cultures are represented in the collection include Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, Cherokee, Ojibwe, Delaware, Cheyenne, Iroquois, and Haida. Objects include jewelry, baskets, ceramics, textiles, musical instruments, and sculptures. The paintings and prints of some individual artists are represented, particularly those of Woody Crumbo, Jessie Nofsinger, Harrison Begay, Stephen Mopope, Cecil Murdock, Tsa Toke, and Montoya Johnson.

“This internship gave me the incredible privilege of working extensively with the work of very famous artists, and I was even given the opportunity to perform conservation treatment on one of the museum's Pablo Picasso prints.”
