exhibit

Route 66 is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and an exhibit in Santa Fe highlights how the Mother Road both exploited Indigenous cultures, and created opportunities for Native American artists. Executive Director for the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) Danyelle Means (Oglala Lakota) spoke with KUNM about the show “Route 66 is Indian Country.”

A new exhibit called “A Question of Power” will be at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe tells the story of three Diné women who helped defeat a controversial power plant on the Navajo Nation.

The artworks were made at weekly workshops at the shelter that provides services to more than 1,000 people a year.
