A groundbreaking survey of contemporary Indigenous art and its
enduring connections to the land The Land Carries Our Ancestors:
Contemporary Art by Native Americans brings together works by many
of today’s most boldly innovative Native American artists. Jaune
Quick-to-See Smith, one of the leading artists and curators of her
generation, has carefully chosen some fifty works across a
diversity of practices—including weaving, beadwork, sculpture,
painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and
video—that share the common thread of the land. This beautifully
illustrated book features both well-known and emerging artists,
from G. Peter Jemison (Seneca Nation of Indians, Heron Clan) and
Kay WalkingStick (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma/European descent) to
Eric-Paul Riege (Diné) and Rose B. Simpson (Pueblo of Santa Clara,
New Mexico). Smith brings her personal perspective to the Native
American experience and Indigenous connections to the land. In her
essay, heather ahtone examines the history and practices of
landscape art, shedding light on how it is both a tool for
self-expression and a means to understanding the natural world.
Celebrated poet and memoirist Joy Harjo pays homage to the land in
her poem “Once the World Was Perfect.” Shana Bushyhead Condill
discusses the themes and practices that distinguish these artworks.
The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native
Americans shares new perspectives on these visionary and
provocative artists while offering a timely celebration of
contemporary Indigenous art. Published in association with the
