To support “New Insights on the 18th-Century Painted Hides Collected in Times of French Louisiana” in November 2023 at the Musée du Quai Branly (MQB). MQB will bring ten Native American partners from the Great Plains region to Paris to study the eighteen painted hides in the museum’s collection, focusing particularly on the exchange of knowledge and the development of a better understanding of the cultural attribution of these pieces. MQB aims to open a dialogue aimed at developing knowledge based on French, Miami, Peoria, Choctaw, Quapaw, and Natchez (Muscogee) perspectives.
