Osage Art: Articulations of Wahzhazhe Ways
The Donald Danforth Jr. Lecture on Native American Art will be given by Marla Redcorn-Miller, director of the Osage Nation Museum.
Redcorn-Miller will examine several works of Osage art. She will focus on the life of the object as part of a cycle that includes its creation, use, and continued significance and connection to the Wahzhazhe Nikishe (Osage people).
About the Donald Danforth Jr. Lecture on Native American Art
Since 2011, the Museum has organized the annual Donald Danforth Jr. Lecture in Native American Art. Along with a catalog published in 2016, the lecture series recognizes the Donald Danforth Jr. Collection at the Museum, which focuses on Plain women’s art from the early reservation era. Over the past two decades, distinguished scholars and culture bearers of Plains art including Arthur Amiotte, Sherry Farrell Racette, Janet Berlo, and Phil Deloria have addressed topics in Plains art history as related to the Danforth Collection.
