 Native Views:
Influences of Modern Culture
Is the excellent traveling by train exhibition of contemporaty Native American arts. The exhibition and tour is meeting Artrain USA’s mission of “enriching lives and building community through the arts”:
The Native American contemporary art exhibition travels across the United States bringing knowledge to nonnative communities. Nonnative neighbors learn directly about Indian Country from the arts and explanations of contemporary Native American artists.
Guided by Native American/Alaska Native board of advisors - Native Views has taken the initiative to provide direct benefits for Native people and resulted in new American Indian/Nonnative collaborations as a result of Native Views educational components.
Says Deb Polich of Artrain USA, "After our recent visit to Pembroke, NC, Rita Locklear, director of the Indian Education Resource Center reported 'Artrain USA brought four organizations together that all, at some point, work with students and community but this gave us the opportunity to develop a trusting and effective relationship.' and the first ever collaboration in Jessup Iowa between Arts in the Park and the Meskwaki Nation of Iowa was described in these words: ' [Artrain USA and the Native Views exhibition] gave us reason to go out and communicate to the Meskwaki Nation. We now have an outreach and willingness to share our cultures and mend some fences. Both societies are going to be mutually involved, in concert with each other because they have already resolved to communicate. There will be a lot of learning from one another.' ”
