  • To View the Exhibition Online
    Americans’ understanding of the history of the American West, including that of the Great Plains, has been significantly shaped by novels, movies, and television Westerns. These narratives often leave out the voices of the region’s Indigenous inhabitants, women, and other groups. This selection of works from the museum’s collection offers a more critical perspective on the historic and modern American West. Images by American Indian artists, for example, address the displacement of Native peoples and the challenge of maintaining cultural traditions. Other artworks highlight the idealization of the Western landscape as well as its overdevelopment. Still other works reassess the iconic status of historical Western figures. —Elizabeth G. Seaton, Curator Source for tribal names: Aaron Carapella, Map of Our Tribal Nations: Our Own Names and Original Locations (2015) and tribal websites. EDWARD MORAN born 1829, Bolton, United Kingdom died 1901, New York, New York Western Landscape, 1866 Oil on canvas Gift of Charles V. Kincaid, 1963.6 Moran presents a majestic mountain valley, pristine and devoid of humans, except for perhaps its imagined viewer. Similar mid-nineteenth-century works, as curator William Truetter has written, cast the Western landscape “as a new Eden, announcing its scenic wonders and publicizing its staggering resources.” Moran was an acclaimed painter of marine subjects, “fisherman at their toil, and water scenes and vessels,” as a biographer described. His brother Thomas, who accompanied several expeditions west, would become even better known for grand views of the continental interior. An 1880 art critic noted that all of Edward’s artist siblings were talented and versatile: “The public knows Thomas Moran as a landscapist, Edward Moran as a marine painter, Peter Moran as an animal-painter, although each of the brothers is excellent often outside of his distinctive sphere.” Edward Moran’s Western Landscape suffers problems that have until now prevented its display.

  • Minisa Crumbo Halsey the Accomplished Artist Shares an Insight Into Her Father, Thomas Gilcrease and Her Native American Upbringing
    Minisa Crumbo Halsey The accomplished artist shares an insight into her father, Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Chapter 1 — 1:08 Introduction Announcer: Woody Crumbo was born near Lexington, Oklahoma, on January 31, 1912, as Woodrow Wilson Crumbo on his Potawatomi mother’s tribal allotment of land. Unfortunately, by the time he was seven he was an orphan, but his nomadic early life, living with different Indian families, including Creek and Sioux, and later becoming friends with a group of Kiowas with whom he studied art, instilled an appreciation for the diverse and disappearing cultures and traditions of the country’s tribes. With art, Woody Crumbo found a way to honor, promote, and preserve this history. While studying at Wichita University and later the University of Oklahoma, he supported himself as a dancer, learning different tribe’s dances from across the nation. And he was one of the first Native American artists to take on oil painting as a medium. His daughter Minisa, an accomplished artist in her own right, shares an insight into her father, his relationship with Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Thanks to the University of Tulsa, foundations and individuals who believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time…you can hear Minisa Crumbo Halsey on VoicesofOklahoma.com.

    The Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division Recording Laboratory AFS L36 MUSIC OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN INDIAN SONGS OF TODAY From the Archive ofFolk Culture Recorded and Ed ited by W illard Rhodes First issued on long-playing record in 1954. Accompanying booklet published 1987. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 82-743366. Available from the Recording Laboratory, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540. Cover illustration: THREE EAGLE DANCERS, by Woody Crumbo (Creek-Potawatomi). Photograph courtesy of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation. • Dedicated to the memory of Willard W. Beatty, Director of Indian Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, from 1937 to 1951. • • FOREWORD TO THE 1954 EDITION • • For a number of years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has sponsored the recording of typical Indian music throughout the United States. During this time approximately a thousand Indian songs have been recorded by Mr. Willard Rhodes, professor of music at Columbia Univer­ sity. The study originated in an effort to deter­ mine the extent to which new musical themes were continuing to develop. Studies have shown that in areas of Indian concentration, especially in the Southwest, the old ceremonial songs are still used in the traditional fashion. In the Indian areas where assimilation has been greater, Indian­ type music is still exceedingly popular. There is considerable creative activity in the development of new secular songs which are used for social gatherings. These songs pass from reservation to reservation with slight change. While the preservation of Indian music through recordings contributes only a small part to the total understanding of American Indians, it is nevertheless an important key to this understand­ ing.

Potawatomi are responsible for protecting and nurturing the Neshnabek council fire, for it is at the root of our culture and defining to us as a people. Still today, we are called upon to re-kindle the flames of our past, lighting the path to our future as Neshnabek. 1. Migration/movement/forced removal Oklahoma History C3 Standard 2.3 “Integrate visual and textual evidence to explain the reasons for and trace the migrations of Native American peoples including the Five Tribes into present-day Oklahoma, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and tribal resistance to the forced relocations.” Traditionally we are known as the Neshnabek [Man Sent Down From Above], a confederated nation comprised of the Ojibwe, Odawa and Bodewadmi [Potawatomi]. Our confederacy is referred to as the Three Fires Council, recognizing that each tribe functions as brethren to serve the alliance as a whole. The Ojibwe, our eldest kinsmen, were first in igniting the flames of the Council. They are the Keepers of the Medicine and Faith, entrusted with the sacred scrolls and teachings of our ancient Midewewin Lodge. The Odawa were second to build a fire as one people. They are the Keepers of the Trade, responsible for providing food and goods to the Nation. In the past, they commissioned and conducted large hunting and trading expeditions that created inter- tribal and later European alliances.

This is a ninety-minute black history program that will travel throughout the state. The program will feature music performed under the direction of the Langston University Band Director Larry Birden, Jr. Also, the history presentation by Bruce Fisher will trace the migration of African Americans to Oklahoma and the social and political climate that led to the establishment of historically all-black towns. Rare film footage of rural black communities in the late 1920s from the OHS Currie Ballard Collection will be shown. The film footage was originally shot by the Langston University Band Reverend Solomon Sir Jones of Muskogee from 1924 to 1929. Oklahoma historian Currie Ballard recently discovered the film. In November 2011 a Yale University archivist showed footage of the historic film at the Association of Moving Images Archivist Conference. Other than Yale University, the Oklahoma Historical Society is the only institution that owns this vintage film footage. The statewide tour of this performance will resume on February 15, 2012, and end February 19, 2012. Langston University students will visit Tatum, Taft, Redbird, Rentiesville, Boley, Booksville, and Clearview. Performances are planned for Muskogee, Boley, Ardmore, and Shawnee.
