| Description: |
"The Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies (CAIRNS) developed an innovative exhibit in 2015 that focused on the Lakota emergence narrative, 'How the Lakota Came Upon the World.' This narrative was recorded by James Walker sometime between 1896, when he first arrived at Pine Ridge to serve as the agency's physician, and 1917, when it was published by the American Museum of Natural History. The exhibit divided the 1,251-word narrative into 16 'passages' and paired each passage with a work by a distinguished or emerging Lakota artist which was linked to the passage. The artworks included abstract, expressionistic and representational paintings, a screen-printed collage, a ledger-style drawing, miniature and full-size clothing, a cut-glass mosaic, a bolo tie, a carved wood tableau and a spoon for the Trickster carved from a buffalo horn. Images of all exhibit artworks are presented in this book.
The emergence narrative explains why the place of emergence in the Black Hills of South Dakota was and always will remain a site of special significance in Lakota cosmology." - Book introduction |
