Almost all of the information panels in the exhibit were in English and the Native language reflecting the artist’s tribal affiliation, in this case Cherokee. I hadn’t known that in the beginning and suddenly saw that I couldn’t read any of the panels I had photographed for use with the pictures, so had to go back and photograph the English versions.

From the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery website:

“Women have long been the creative force behind Native American art, yet their individual contributions have been largely unrecognized, instead treated as anonymous representations of entire cultures. ‘Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists’ explores the artistic achievements of Native women and establishes their rightful place in the art world.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
