Once the criteria for best prac- tices in multicultural art education was identified, an action research design was used to investigate the impact of Native American themed art lessons on student learning and on multicultural awareness. The overarching aim of both studies was to uncover best practices for creating and teaching elementary art curriculum on Native American art and contempo- rary Native American artists.

Alas, most people in the Diamond District are very familiar with the dirty, scruffy blue newsboxes the Diamond District Monthly has long been distributed from. Like most other things on the street, they’ve been covered with stickers and graffiti. And, now, like most things on the street, they been replaced with sparkling new models. Continued on page 10 SAY HELLO TO THE “PURPOSE-DRIVEN SHOPPER” Everyone needs a purpose. According to a new study of 19,000 consumers in 28 countries, ages 18 to 73, many are willing to pay for it. Nearly one-third of the consumers polled said they would stop buying a brand that is inconsistent with their purpose, such as those associated with negative social or environmental impacts, or lack sustainability—in other words, products produced in ways that may damage long term natural resources to satisfy short term needs. But nearly two thirds also said they would be willing to pay up to 35% more for brands consistent with their purpose. What does this crucial insight mean to diamond and jewelry retailers?

  • (Re)Mapping, Grounding, Remembering: a Curatorial Study of Way-Finding and Relationships to Place in Contemporary Indigenous Art Practice
    (re)mapping, grounding, remembering: A Curatorial Study of Way-finding and Relationships to Place in Contemporary Indigenous Art Practice by Courtney Miller A thesis exhibition presented to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Criticism and Curatorial Practice Graduate Gallery, OCAD University, March 7-14, 2020 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, March 2020 © Courtney Miller, 2020 ii (re)mapping, grounding, remembering A thesis exhibition by Courtney Miller Master of Fine Arts Criticism and Curatorial Practice 2020 OCAD University Abstract (re)mapping, grounding, remembering explores how the concept of (re)mapping is communicated in Indigenous contemporary artwork to demonstrate place-making methods and maintain Indigenous presence on land/landscape. (Re)mapping indicates Indigenous perceptions of and connections to ancestral land/landscape through themes of responsibility, reciprocity, place-based language, and intergenerational knowledges. This thesis project involves an exhibition featuring the artworks of Anishinaabe artist Bonnie Devine, Blackfoot/Cree artist Richelle Bear Hat, and Métis artist Katherine Boyer. Through literal, symbolic, and discursive gestures of mapping, the artists contribute to a conversation of re-writing histories, shared memories, complex and enduring relationships pertaining to homeland. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis advisor Gerald McMaster and my secondary advisor Selmin Kara for their guidance, my readers Anna Hudson and Johanna Householder, and my previous advisor Suzanne Morrissette. I also would like to thank my husband Zak, my friends, and family for their continuous support. I express my continual appreciation to the artists in my thesis exhibition: Bonnie Devine, Richelle Bear Hat, and Katherine Boyer.

  • 1 Navajo and Zuni Turquoise
    Navajo and Zuni Turquoise: A Squash Blossom Necklace Case Study By Lucy Gamble Native American jewelry has been admired as adornment and investigated as functional works of cultural significance since the earliest Spanish contact in the 1500s. The unique styles of Native American jewelry across the American Southwest distinguish the pieces as emblems of their region and culture. Although each piece of jewelry is distinct, there are many reoccurring design elements and symbols throughout generations and various tribes. One identifiable widely repeated element of Native American jewelry is the use of the naturally occurring stone turquoise. Turquoise is used in many different types of jewelry, but it is prominently featured in the squash blossom necklace. In my thesis, I use methods of material culture and symbolic anthropology to investigate the use of turquoise in the squash blossom necklace. My work focuses on a collection of squash blossom necklaces collected from donors between 1935 and 1985, and housed at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, to examine design elements and themes amongst the necklaces. Investigating the issues of transforming cultural items to commodities, I analyze these objects as reflective of the culture from which they originate. The market for Native American jewelry complicates the cultural analysis of these objects. When a jeweler is creating a piece within a cultural context it can be examined as reflective of that particular culture, but when the piece is created to be sold there are complications. Placing a value on the necklace puts a price on the cultural value, which in turn has the consumer viewing culture as commodity.
