<p>Drawing from archival resources and original research and interviews, this book tells the rich and complex story of the Indian curio trade in New Mexico. Starting with the arrival of the railroad in 1880, Pueblo and Navajo artisans collaborated with non-Indian traders and dealers to invent artifacts and souvenirs that had no purpose but to satisfy the growing demand for Native-made objects. From its inception, the curio trade comprised cottage industries, retail spaces, and a vast mail-order trade, selling items ranging from silver and turquoise jewelry, pottery, to handbags and toys. The curio trade had a lasting impact and helped popularize Native American art in the Southwest.</p>

<p>Product Description      \nThis catalogue from a 2009 exhibition at the Wheelwright Museum focuses on paintings by students who attended the Santa Fe Indian School between 1919 and 1945. The school had been established by the federal government in 1890 as an attempt to assimilate Native American children into the greater American society. Reforms to the school’s mission were made in the early twentieth century with the establishment of an art school curriculum that grew in popularity. By 1932, under the direction of Dorothy Dunn and later Geronima Cruz Montoya, the school encouraged a modernist style to students―many would later become renowned artists. Fred Kabotie, Velino Shije Herrera, Allan Houser, Andrew Tsihnahjinnie, Pablita Velarde, and Sybil Yazzie are among the artists represented. Author and curator Michelle McGeough consulted with and interviewed many of the living artists and their descendants to present a compelling narrative about the paintings that represents the view of the artists and communities.\nAbout the Author      \nMichelle McGeough (Métis) is an Indigenous art historian, artist, and former curator at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. She is associate professor at the University of British Columbia.</p>

<p><div>This catalogue accompanied Rose B. Simpson's first solo exhibition in 2018 at the Wheelwright Museum. Simpson grew up in a permaculture environment on Santa Clara Pueblo in northern New Mexico among a family of renowned potters and artists--her mother is the famed sculptor Roxanne Swentzell. Simpson's self-reflective work has made a big impact on the contemporary art scene. The pieces feature life-size mixed-media sculptures, faces, and monumental figures in the traditional medium of clay, combined with welded steel and leather. A range of sculptural styles and sizes reflect the trajectory of Simpson's recent work.</div></p>

<p><div>Dextra Quotskuyva (b. 1928) is one of the most influential Native American potters of the past half-century. Each of her painted designs is unique and flawlessly executed. Quotskuyva (Hopi-Tewa) learned her masterful handling of clay through her distinguished family including her great-grandmother, famed potter Nampeyo; mother, Rachel Namingha; and grandmother, Annie Healing. Native American pottery scholar, collector, and dealer Martha H. Struever worked closely with Quotskuyva for a quarter century. This book, a companion to a retrospective exhibition at the Wheelwright Museum in 2001, explores Quotskuyva's craft, artistry, traditions, and innovations that set her apart from most Pueblo potters of her generation.</div></p>
