For more than 80 years, the Heard Museum has attracted visitors from around the globe who come to learn about the arts and cultures of the Native peoples of the Americas. We hope you enjoy this oasis of Spanish Colonial architecture with courtyards, water features and sculpture gardens. The Heard Museum, which has more than 130,000 square feet of galleries, classrooms and performance space, is known worldwide for its exhibits and programs celebrating Native artists, and for its Shop, which provides the opportunity to purchase museum- quality, authentic American Indian artworks. The Heard Museum actively collects and exhibits American Indian art, from centuries-old drawings and pottery to contemporary paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, textiles and photography. The Heard is nationally and internationally recognized for the quality of its exhibits, which provide insight into the cultures and histories of Native people, and for the sensitivity of its presentation and interpretation of American Indian art. Our changing exhibit schedule and slate of annual festivals mean there is always something interesting to see and do at the Heard. Plan to have lunch in our Courtyard Café, which has received rave reviews; visit our Museum Shop and our Bookstore; or ask us about private use of our facility for business events or family gatherings.

Lee Peterson Interim Director and CEO Heard Museum 6 LETTER July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 MUSEUM NEWS & EVENTS MEET THE HEARD’S NEW DIRECTOR James Pepper Henry has been named as the Heard Museum’s director and CEO. Henry comes to the Heard after a successful six-year tenure at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, Alaska’s premier art, history and science institution. There, he oversaw the completion of the museum’s $110 million, 80,000-square-foot expansion, including the debut of the new Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center exhibition hall and the new Imaginarium Discovery Center. “We are very pleased to announce that Jim Pepper Henry will become the new director of the Heard Museum,” said Heard Museum Board of Trustees Chair Mark Bonsall. “An extensive national search was conducted to find the person who will lead us into the future.” “I am honored to have been selected as the next director and CEO of the Heard Museum, one of the premier institutions of American Indian art and culture and an American treasure,” said Pepper Henry. “I look forward to working with the board, staff and community to present exciting exhibitions and programs, expand its audiences and steward the Heard into a new era.” Pepper Henry formerly served as an associate director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) where, for nearly 10 years, he managed a wide variety of American Indian community-oriented programs, services, and traveling exhibitions. Pepper Henry played a pivotal role in the establishment and launch of NMAI, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., that opened to the public in 2004. Pepper Henry is a member of the Kaw Nation of Oklahoma and Muscogee Creek Nation. He is co-founder and president of the Kanza Ilóshka Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the cultural life-ways and traditions of the Kaw people. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon and a recipient of the University’s prestigious Council for Minority Education Leadership Award. He is also a graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Pepper Henry will assume his duties on August 5. Hear about our new director’s ideas and plans for the Heard at the Heard Museum Guild’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 10:30 a.m. in the Steele Auditorium. 8 NEWS & EVENTS July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 “GEORGIA O’KEEFFE IN NEW MEXICO: ARCHITECTURE, KATSINAM AND THE LAND” MAKES STOP IN NATIONWIDE TOUR AT THE HEARD Opening Sept. 28, 2013; Through Jan. 12, 2014 This exhibit, organized by the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe., N.M., with appropriate Hopi katsina dolls curated by the Heard, focuses on O’Keeffe’s (1887-1986) experiences as she made New Mexico her part-time, later full-time, home, which inspired her as she expanded her visual vocabulary and broadened the concept of American Modernism. The Heard will be incorporating appropriate katsina dolls (katsina tithu) into the exhibit with interpretation from one of the exhibit advisors, Alph Secakuku (Hopi), who is the author of the Heard’s Following the Sun and Moon publication, said Dr. Ann Marshall, the Heard’s vice president for curation and education. “This is an opportunity for the Heard’s visitors to see O’Keeffe’s approach to subject matter taken up by Hopi artists past and present,” Marshall said. O’Keeffe began spending part of the year living and working in New Mexico in 1929, a pattern she rarely altered until 1949. She then made Northern New Mexico her permanent home three years after the death of her husband, celebrated photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who was America’s first advocate of modern art. O’Keeffe was inspired to paint and draw New Mexico’s distinctive churches, crosses, folk art, representations of katsinam (carved and painted representations of Hopi and Pueblo spirit beings, also called kachinas), as well as the astonishingly beautiful, painted desert that surrounded her Ghost Ranch house. The exhibit opens to the public Saturday, Sept. 28. July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 NEWS & EVENTS 9 CURRENT EXHIBITS Georgia O’Keeffe: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land – Opening Sept. 28, 2013; on display through Jan. 12, 2014 This exhibit focuses on O’Keeffe’s (1887-1986) experiences as she made New Mexico her part-time, later full-time, home, which inspired her as she expanded her visual vocabulary and broadened the concept of American Modernism.

Don’t miss the Navajo hogan, the Pueblo horno or the 400 katsina dolls on display! Every Picture Tells a Story Learn about how the vegetation and local wildlife of seven different geographical regions influence and inspire Native artists in this hands-on and family-friendly exhibit.

Arizona’s First People Discover each of Arizona’s 21 federally recognized tribal communities. Hear Arizona’s Native peoples explain their histories, cultures and discuss their futures in their own voices. This exhibit is a celebration of our Native people’s triumph over adversity and their return to vibrant, growing communities. Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience This powerful exhibit immerses visitors into the story of American Indian children who were forced by the federal government to attend residential boarding schools hundreds of miles away from home. This exhibit examines the system of off-reservation Indian boarding schools, which separated children from their families and stripped them of their cultural identity and language. Around the World: The Heard Museum Collection Explore the cultural traditions of Native peoples from around the world in this exhibit of artwork from North and South America, Africa and Oceania. Much of the work on display is from the original collection of Dwight and Maie Heard. Also featured are important works from donors such as Byron Harvey III that have had a significant role in shaping the museum’s collection. N. Scott Momaday: Art and Poetry This exhibit pairs together paintings, monoprints and writings by N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa), a Pulitzer Prize- winning author and playright. The result is a powerful exhibit that blends his varied works of art together. American Indian Veterans National Memorial Service and sacrifice spanning more than three centuries are honored in the first and only known national memorial to American Indian veterans of many conflicts. The memorial, located outside the Berlin Gallery, contains panels describing the devotion of American Indian soldiers to their country and includes several heroic sculptures. Left: Allan Houser (Chiricahua Apache, 1914-1994), “Unconquered II,” 1994, @Chiinde LLC, private collection of Tia.

For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

  • Robert Rankin Recalls His Work with the Kaw People and Their Language Linda Cumberland
    Chapter 6 In his own words: Robert Rankin recalls his work with the Kaw people and their language Linda Cumberland In this edited transcript of a 2011 interview, Robert Rankin discusses his early train- ing in linguistics, his first contacts with the Kaw people and language, andhis subsequent lifelong involvement with the Kaw Language Project. Robert Rankin was fundamental to the development of the Kaw Language Project, an office maintained by the Kaw Nation at its headquarters in KawCity, Oklahoma. Under Bob’s supervision and with his tireless assistance, the KLP has produced an array of language materials, including teaching materials, a volume of KanzaKaw language texts (Kaaⁿze Weyaje — Kanza Reader; Kanza Language Project 2010) and a dictionary (Kaaⁿze Ie Wayaje: An Annotated Dictionary of Kaw (Kanza); Cumberland & Rankin 2012). In the early 2000s, he and then Language Director Justin McBride worked together to assemble a comprehensive collection of all Kaw language data known to exist and archived it at tribal headquarters. His work with the Kaw people and their native language extended over four decades and produced the only available sound recordings of the language, col- lected in the 1970s, from the last native speakers of the language. In December 2011, I, as Language Director at that time, sat down with Bob to ask him to recall those early days of his work and the speakers he worked with. This is an edited version of that conversation. Linda: It’s December first, 2011. I’m in the Kaw Nation Language Office with Dr. Robert Rankin to talk about his field experience in the 1970s, recording the last first-language native speakers of the Kaw language.

  • Contemporary Hopi Arts and Crafts Hopi Pottery
    Contemporary Hopi Arts and Crafts Hopi Pottery Hopi potters draw on a tradition going back centuries. The ancestors of the Hopi made gray utility ware as long ago as A.D. 700. The ancient potters developed black on white styles, black on red, and finally polychromes. In the late 1800s, outsiders began to appreciate the artistry of Hopi potters. This new demand sparked what has been called the revival period for Hopi pottery. The ancient potters passed their skills on to succeeding generations, many of whom are Hopi potters today. Although First Mesa is the most well-known for its pottery, Hopi potters can be found throughout the Hopi mesas. All authentic Hopi pottery is handmade by the coil and scrape technique. Hopi potters do not use a pottery wheel or make mold-poured pottery. They use the same techniques as their ancestors, hand-painting the designs with yucca leaf brushes and using natural materials provided by their environment. The pots are then fired in open firing areas. To learn about Hopi pottery, we suggest you read some of the fine books available about this ancient art. They are listed in our Recommended Reading List. History The Hopi call their ancestors, Hisatsinom, "People of Long Ago." The public and most anthropologists refer to these people as the "Anasazi," a word that has become popular in the general literature. Early Hisatsinom are called the Basketmaker people. The Basketmakers were a hunting and gathering people who became increasingly sedentary as their reliance on agriculture increased. As early as A.D. 700, the Basketmaker people began making plain pottery.
