Curator’s Note

“A Curator's Notebook on Native American Arts, Tribal Craft, and the History Behind the Objects”

A short notebook from the back room. We catalogue what we love, sit with what we don’t yet understand, and write down what the object will not say. Each entry is one piece — provenance where we know it, conjecture where we don’t.
