On this tour commemorating Native American Heritage Month, student tour guide Jacqueline Zoeller contrasts colonial visions of the Western U.S. landscape, such as Albert Bierstadt’s Rocky Mountains, “Lander’s Peak” (1863), with the realities lived and portrayed by Native American artists. Stops on the tour will include Diné artist Will Wilson’s "Mexican Hat Disposal Cell" (2020), a landscape photograph of Halchita, Utah, the Navajo Nation, featured in the special exhibition "Devour the Land: War and American Landscape Photography since 1970;" Apsáalooke artist Wendy Red Star’s photographic series "Four Seasons" (2006); and a group of photographs by Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara artist Zig Jackson from the 1990s that entered the museums’ collections only last year. In collaboration with the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP), the Ho Family Student Guides have created a digital collection of some of the works at the museums that speak to the Native American experience, including the works discussed in this virtual tour. This collection will help spur further conversations about Native American representation at the museums: https://harvardartmuseums.org/profile/DAPPTours/mycollections/5972/native-american-experience-final/public TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: + Learn more about the Harvard University Native American Program: https://hunap.harvard.edu/ + Explore the exhibition "Devour the Land: War and American Landscape Photography since 1970": https://harvardartmuseums.org/devourtheland + Join an upcoming tour via https://harvardartmuseums.org/calendar + Explore more virtual tours and chats with our student guides:    • Virtual Tours & Chats with the Ho Fam...   --- The Ho Family Student Guide Program at the Harvard Art Museums prepares students to create original, research-based tours and interpretive materials about the collections.
