Arts of the Woodland Indians

Now through January 3

Dennos Museum Center Map

Running alongside the exhibition of pre-Columbian gold artifacts from Central Panama (River of Gold) is an exhibition of native art from somewhat farther north. . . .

This exhibition draws from the museum's collection of art by the Woodland Indians.  Not only does this exhibition include excellent examples of quillwork and sweetgrass basketry from both Michigan and Ottawa artists, but also prints by artists of the famed woodland or Anishinabe style of painting, such as Norval Morrisseau and Roy Thomas.
