SUMMARY:Momim Wene | Medicine Water
DESCRIPTION:The Maidu Museum & Historic Site (MMHS) is thrilled to announce the opening of Momím Wené | Medicine Water: Flowing Throughout California Indian Country a contemporary art exhibition featuring 29 regional Native American artists. The exhibition will run April 12-September 14\, 2025. \nMomím Wené | Medicine Water explores the complex relationship between essential waterways and Tribal communities\, and how time and colonization have led to diverse histories throughout California Indian Country. According to the exhibition’s curator\, Meyo Marrufo (Eastern Pomo)\, “Some Tribes have continuous\, strong connections with their waterways\, while others are flowing back to the river and regaining the genetic memory of who we are as Water People.  As we explore these relationships in our art\, we tell the story of regaining\, re-identifying and remaking our water traditions… our Momím Wené: Medicine Water.” \nThis dynamic exhibition was organized by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ Cultural Resources Division and includes over 40 artworks in a variety of media\, including painting\, photographs\, prints\, drawings\, basketry\, stonework\, beadwork\, and jewelry. Many of the original artworks are for sale and proceeds support both the artists and the museum. In addition\, visitors may take home a small collectible print from custom art card vending machines located on the first floor of the museum for only $1! \nParticipating artists: Tiffany Adams\, Carson Bates\, Gemma Benton\, Jacky Calanchini\, Billyhawk Enos\, Koppa Enos\, Delana Galvan\, Jeannette Innerarity\, Skye Innerarity\, Siranika Johnson\, Jaime Lanouette\, Kai LaPena\, Sage LaPena\, Vince LaPena\, Raymond LeBeau\, Viola LeBeau\, Meyo Marrufo\, Melissa Melero-Moose\, Shanti Parks\, Jeremy Peconom\, Jessica Proctor\, Petee Ramirez\, Lyn Risling\, Steven Saffold\, Victorio Shaw\, Kat Solares\, Deerstine Suehead\, Malissa Tayaba\, and Jacinda Tayaba-Cordero.

SUMMARY:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls
DESCRIPTION:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls\nCurated by Dennis McKinnon\nDennis McKinnon\, Yurok\nHonoring Heritage Through Woodworking \nDennis McKinnon is a proud Yurok Tribe member with Tolowa and Yurok ancestry. He spent his early years along the Klamath River on McKinnon Hill and in Klamath\, Ca.\, Del Norte County. \nIn 1962\, the McKinnons moved to Blue Lake\, Ca.\, Humboldt County. Raised by a Yurok father and a Tolowa/Yurok mother\, Dennis grew up immersed in Native culture and community. \nAfter retiring from a federal career in engineering and computer science\, Dennis returned to woodworking – skills taught by his father. Through segmented woodturning\, he creates wood art inspired by traditional Yurok basket designs. \n“I appreciate the role the McKinnon Family has played in preserving the Yurok cultural identity\, and my hope is that my interpretation of this art and craftmanship contributes to that legacy.” – Dennis McKinnon

SUMMARY:Rose B. Simpson: LEXICON
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two seemingly distinct art forms: Pueblo pottery and classic cars. In 2014\, Rose B. Simpson\, a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo\, New Mexico\, refurbished a 1985 Chevy El Camino\, transforming it with a black-on-black Tewa pottery motif. Simpson titled her work Maria in honor of renowned artist Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo\, 1887–1980)\, who popularized the distinctive black-on-black style. Ten years later\, this exhibition debuts Simpson’s second customized car\, a 1964 Buick Riviera painted in vibrant polychrome. Both cars are presented against an expansive geometric design\, evoking the environment of the Southwest and transforming Wilsey Court into a bold\, contemporary expression of Pueblo pottery traditions. Through this use of scale and space\, Simpson forges connections between the ancestral and contemporary\, and forms a new visual vocabulary\, or lexicon\, to assert her cultural heritage and its continuity.
