Memory
and Imagination: The Legacy of Maidu Indian Artist Frank
Day
Based on the first one-man exhibition mounted
by the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI),
this program looks at the extraordinary life of self-taught
Maidu artist Frank Day and the California Indian art he
inspired. Faced with the reality that the traditional
Maidu world about which his father had taught him was
being torn apart, Frank Day decided to record that world
through his memory and imagination--painting, storytelling,
and singing within the traditions of his childhood in
Sierra Nevada foothills.

Coyote Bites Back:
Indian Humor
What is "Indian Humor" anyway? The program dispels
the popular notion that Native Americans are stoic and humorless.
Based on an exhibition by the American Indian Contemporary
Arts that showed at the NMAI, this program brings together
comedian Drew Lacapa (Apache/Hopi/Tewa) and artists whose
works appear in the show, addressing the question, "What makes
something funny to you?" |
