Museum displays Native images
By KATE ROWLAND, SUN COUNTRY
This summer, challenge your perceptions of Native America, past and
present.
Powerful Images: Portrayals of Native America is now being displayed at the
Glenbow Museum, the only Canadian showing of an eight museum North American
tour.
Organized by Museums West -- a consortium of nine U.S. and one Canadian
museums dedicated to history, art and cultures of the West -- the
exhibition is the culmination of years of discussion and organization.
"It began about 1991," says Gerry Conaty, the Glenbow's curator and a
member of the exhibition's organizational committee.
Museums West had just been formed, he said, "and the (museum) directors
wanted to do an exhibit that featured our collections."
What they came up with was an idea which would feature "really good
collections from our Native peoples," Conaty said.
Powerful Images examines the perceptions and stereotypes surrounding North
American images in film, advertising, art, literature and museums.
Besides addressing historical and stereotypical images, the exhibit
contains a section entitled Persistent Voices -- the result of a
collaboration with Grade 12 students at Calgary's Plains Indian Survival
School.
"We asked, 'Who are your role models?' " Conaty says. Many students focused
on neighbours, social workers and others who have made a difference in
their communities.
