AMERICA 250: Exhibit at Longview museum showcases Native American art for U.S. 250th anniversary

The Longview Museum of Fine Arts in Texas has opened a new exhibition titled "Native Perspectives: America 250" in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary. The show features works by artists from 13 different Native American tribes, including paintings, baskets, beadwork, and ledger art—a form that references the forced relocation of Indigenous peoples to reservations. Executive Director Tiffany Jehorek notes that the exhibit incorporates personal histories, such as ledger entries tied to artist Mabel Carr's mother, and aims to highlight Indigenous legends like Bigfoot and werewolves that predate European settlement. The exhibition runs through September 12 and includes related events such as a panel discussion, curatorial remarks, and a Caddo pottery workshop led by artist and co-curator Chase Kahwinhut Earles.
