As we welcome 2026, cities across the country are preparing to celebrate a pivotal milestone in American history – the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Parades, reenactments, and commemorations of the founding fathers focus on the hope and heroism that have come to symbolize the birth of a new nation, while largely disregarding its decisive impact on Indigenous nations. Artists Peter Jamison, Sayokla Kindness, Carla Hemlock, Shelley Niro, Trevor Brant, and others will offer their insightful, at times divergent, viewpoints on this foundational American anniversary. Exhibit features sculpture, beadwork, painting, digital works, and more.
