To support In the Shadow of the Eagle, an exhibition timed to align with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence that reveals Indigenous Americans’ ongoing complicated relationship to American democracy. Through the power of contemporary Native art, the exhibition centers the Wabanaki experience in Maine and illuminates the complex nature of treaty-making, military service, voting rights, protest, and sovereignty, all of which have real ramifications in the present. The accompanying publication will feature a series of essays by curators and/or advisory members.
