Opening Reception - Joe Harjo: Indian Removal Act II: And She Was
This is the second part of a three-part exhibition series that looks at historical and contemporary issues impacting Native American communities. The title takes its name from the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which forcibly relocated tribes to land west of the Mississippi not yet settled by colonists or within established state borders. Harjo’s own tribe the Muscogee (Creek) Nation were relocated from the eastern coast to Oklahoma.
This exhibition focuses strongly on Muskogee women, specifically the stories of Harjo’s family members to highlight the history of removal policy. The exhibition highlights the shift from matrilineal culture to patriarchy within the Muskogee nation.
