To support the research and documentary project WINIKO: Reunions (January 2023–December 2024), which informs and will live on beyond the run of WINIKO: Life of an Object, an exhibition opening in Spring 2025. The exhibition is being built using a curatorial framework that reunites objects, collected over a century ago and on loan from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian’s collection, with their people and cultures. Once completed, the results, findings, and stories are published as a catalogue and provide the content for a feature-length film (August 2024–June 2025), as well as conference presentations and reports back to tribal nations.
