This exhibit displays all of the Manning American Indian Collection acquired in 1916, the founding collection of the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. It explores the legacy of “Victorian” collecting and the period during which Native Americans saw their cultural objects institutionalized in glass cases. The exhibit also offers an alternative and culturally appropriate viewpoint that honors indigenous Plateau life-ways by contextualizing the Manning collection with objects drawn from the now vast and nationally important American Indian collection.

Whether beaded bag or lithograph, Pueblo painting or Jacob Lawrence print, these narrative works depict people in settings where stories unfold. Representing diverse cultures, various media, and multiple time periods, these works encourage long and active looking and inspire viewers to make meaning based on their own life experiences. The exhibition draws inspiration from the work of Harvard-trained psychologist Abigail Housen and from Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), the method based on her research.

Nespelem Art Colony portrait paintings, horse regalia, clothing, and archival photos illustrate American Indian cultural transitions from the 1930s reservation era. Tourists and spectators traveled to Indian reservations to glimpse a dying way of life. Instead, Plateau Indian celebrations introduced them to the resilience of American Indian identity.
