Book excerpt: "Twelve Native American artists in an exhibit curated by Suzan Shown Harjo ( Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee). The views of most Native American people are never heard or seen by anyone near the shores of the Potomac. But that doesn't stop a lot of folks in Washington , D.C. from believing they know who Native Peoples are, what we think and what's best for us. ..I wanted to curate a show that would expose Washingtonians to unfiltered views of some Native people outside D.C. After settling on the broad exhibit theme, I contacted a dozen topnotch Native American artists, with an open-ended request for new or existing work on any subject they wanted to address in the nation's Capitol. -Suzan Shown Harjo, curator"--District of Columbia Arts Center website.
