The exhibition continues to explore long-standing misconceptions while celebrating the vitality\, diversity\, and innovation of  Native creative practice. \nThrough a broad scope of mediums including painting\, sculpture\, clay\, photography\, beadwork\, and wampum\, the installation reclaims space for Native perspectives and invites audiences to engage with Native art on its own terms. \nTogether\, America\, Unfinished?! and Ascending: The Liberation of Native Art create an interesting dual show about history\, identity\, belonging\, and the ongoing work of redefining the American narrative.
