The Earth is a House
of Stories: Works from the Permanent Art Collection by Native Artists is a UNI Gallery of Art exhibition based on objects from the Collection. Other objects were borrowed from UNI Museum, the Waseskuk family, and the YoungBear family.
"The title is taken from a line in N. Scott Momaday’s book, Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land.
This exhibition highlights works of art housed in the UNI Gallery of Art Permanent Collection and the UNI Museum by historical and contemporary Native artists. Showcasing these works is part of a university-wide effort to adopt a Land Stewardship Statement this fall while continuing to build and honor respectful and nourishing partnerships with the Meskwaki Nation and Native people in Iowa"
