A beautiful collection of the art and life stories of regional
Native painters Dreaming Our Futures features twenty-eight
Native painters, primarily Dakota and Ojibwe, who live in the
Midwest or have family or tribal connections here. The artists
represent a range of generations, professional experience, and
genres—including traditional, historical, contemporary, and
conceptual themes. The volume presents full-color reproductions of
art by each painter, along with bilingual artist statements,
biographies, and essays on the representation of Indigenous people
in historical context; storytelling and the creative process; and
scholarship on several specific artists. The renowned Grand
Portage Ojibwe artist George Morrison declared, “I have never
tried to prove that I was Indian through my art. Yet, there may
remain deeply hidden some remote suggestion of the rock whence I
was hewn, the preoccupation of the textural surface, the mystery of
the structural and organic element, the enigma of the horizon, or
the color of the wind.” The variety of images painted by this
gathering of artists demonstrates that the strong heritage and
powerful traditions of Indigenous painting remain vital and dynamic
today. Dreaming Our Futures accompanies an exhibition at
the Katherine E. Nash Gallery in 2024, produced in association with
the George Morrison Center for Indigenous Arts at the University of
Minnesota. Artists: Frank Big Bear, David Bradley,
