Indigenous People’s Day 2022

Today we commemorate Indigenous People’s Day with art by Native American Women from Hearts of Our People: Native American Artists. This exhibition catalog was published in Minneapolis in 2019 by the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) in conjunction with the University of Washington Press to accompany the traveling exhibit “Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists.” The exhibition catalog was prepared by MIA curator Jill Ahlberg Yohe and Kiowa artist Teri Greeves.

While the exhibit and its catalog featured art from antiquity through the present, I decided to primarily focus on the work of living artists, with the exception of the marble by Edmonia Lewis. Lewis, born in the mid-19th century to an African-Hatian father and a Black and Mississauga mother, is credited with being the first African American and first Native American to attain international success in the art scene. Trained in and working out of Rome, Lewis incorporated themes of Blackness and Indigeneity into her Neoclassical sculptural work. Whether through the subversion of traditionally European artforms or the reimagining of Indigenous traditions, the contemporary artists featured here alongside Lewis bring the depth of Native visual languages to a wide range of mediums.

Explore the exhibit further through the exhibition page from the Smithsonian American Art Institute, which hosted the exhibit from February 21-March 13, 2020.

For #WorldTunaDay:

Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) Bonito and Saxifrage, c. 1832-3 From Untitled series of fish known as Large Fish Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink & color on paper, 10 × 14 3/8 in. (25.4 × 36.5 cm) (horizontal ōban) Minneapolis Institute of Art P.75.51.584

🆔 Skipjack Tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis)

“The combination of a bonito with twigs of cherry suggests early summer, when cherry trees begin to fruit and the season’s first bonitos are caught. Both of the poems on this print refer to hatsu-gatsuo (first bonito), the first catch of the season. Traditionally, the Japanese place a high value on hatsu-mono (first foods), the earliest fruits, vegetables, or fish of a particular season. The ‘first bonito’ was the most prized of all and commanded a high price. People anticipated this seasonal delicacy with much excitement, as described in the poems.

Look at the color of the first bonitos! They are as blue as morning glories. No wonder they come along to market before the sun rises.

~Toshinokado Haruki

The first bonito caught on the beach near the place called Under Snow melts like snow in my mouth. How tasty it is!

~Toshiiori Machikado
