IAIA Faculty Member and Renowned Poet James Thomas Stevens Reaches Out to Inmates of New Mexico State Penitentiary (PNM)
IAIA Associate Professor of Creative Writing James Thomas Stevens (Akwesasne Mohawk), recently contacted IAIA alumna Roseanna Andrade (Mexica/Nahua) '16, to participate in one of IAIA's community outreach programs--the collection of poems that are posted on the IAIA Health and Wellness Trail. As the poetry instructor in the Creative Writing Program, Stevens is responsible for collecting original poems from invited groups and posting them in wooden display posts along the trail; which is utilized by IAIA students, staff, faculty, and members of the surrounding community. In an effort to reach out to new groups of writers, he wrote to Andrade and requested poems for display on the trail from April 1, 2017 through August 1 2017. Andrade was recently hired to work in the library at the New Mexico State Penitentiary, and Stevens felt that there was an opportunity to invite writers in the incarcerated community to contribute their work.
Andrade received her Associates Degree in Native American Studies and Bachelor of Arts Degree in Indigenous Liberal Studies from IAIA. During her time at the school, she worked in the library and according to her, "my passion for books and literacy led me to this new position, providing library services for the community at PNM. As the prison librarian at PNM, I provided a program which inspired positive, creative self-expression that inmates could share with others in the larger community."
After receiving permission to participate in the program, poems were submitted by five writers which were displayed on the Health and Wellness Trail. Andrade was excited about the invitation because of the stipulation that "the poem must speak to the theme of 'nature'. This gave writers the opportunity to reflect upon nature and the natural world from their perspective."
Andrade summed up her participation in the program by saying, "Many of the writers were happy to share their work with others. One of the writers explained that there is a stigma in prison that prisoners need to block their feelings and emotions; but writing allows them to express themselves in a real way and that these programs are good for personal growth and a positive way to learn how to communicate with people. I would also like to include projects in which artists have the opportunity to share their work as well. The library is fortunate to have the support of Deputy Warden Olivas and staff that recognize that these types of programs are beneficial to the inmate population."
Stevens, who is also a mentor in the IAIA Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing Program, summed up the results of his efforts by saying, "Poetry, which allows us to express what we often believe inexpressible, is born of silence and contemplation. These are things that the incarcerated have plenty of, so it makes sense that there are emotions and feelings pondered and re-pondered that are waiting to spill out on the page. My old professor and mentor, Arthur Sze, used to say, 'Poetry gives us the ability to orchestrate our silences, to give silence the same weight as words.' We see this in the poems that were submitted by writers in the penitentiary, the line breaks, the pauses--the results of thought and silence."

IAIA Alumna Therese Mailhot To Be Published in Canada
Congratulations to 2016 MFA alumna Terese Mailhot (Seabird Island Band), whose first book, Heart Berries (forthcoming from Counterpoint in the U.S.) will be published in Canada by Doubleday Canada.
The folks at Doubleday Canada had this to say about Terese's memoir: "From the moment we received the manuscript we were struck by Terese's vitality and towering writing gifts-hers is the most powerful and edifying story we have read in a long time. She generously offers us an intimate and wrenching account of her life, and a perspective that is heard and encouraged far too rarely despite its immense significance. Her contribution to our literary and cultural conversation is essential, and the immediacy and force in her writing matched with the courage, passion and intelligence of its writer sparked a truly unanimous response in our group."

Three Recent Visitors for President Dr. Robert Martin
IAIA was pleased to host a tour for Ellen Ferguson, Director of Community Relations at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington at Seattle. Ms. Ferguson, a long-time supporter of the American Indian College Fund (AICF), met IAIA student, Amy Red Horse (Cherokee/Powhatan), while both were attending the AICF Gala in New York City this past April. In an effort to bring awareness of IAIA to the public, Ms. Red Horse extended an invitation to Ms. Ferguson to tour the IAIA campus, which she did on June 13, 2017. Of special interest to Ms. Ferguson, and a highlight of the tour, was a visit to the IAIA Museum's Permanent Collection. Ms. Ferguson is currently co-chairing a $100M campaign for the construction of a new museum which will open summer of 2019. For more information on the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, or to see the construction via live cam, please visit www.burkemuseum.org. California Tribal College is currently in its strategic planning process and gathering ideas and information about the educational needs of California Tribes. To that end, Crystal Blue (California Valley Miwok Tribe), Operations Director, and Cammeron Hudson (Wilton Rancheria), Executive Director, toured the IAIA campus on Tuesday, June 13. The main focus of the visit was to gather ideas about the student experience at a tribal college and building partnerships with other tribal colleges. With a Mission Statement similar to ours: To provide quality higher education grounded in respect, accountability, integrity, and responsibility to prepare students for positions of leadership in their communities and careers, IAIA was the logical choice. Emily Peck, a Studio Arts major, led the pair on a thorough tour that included the Lloyd Kiva New Welcome Center, the Ells Science and Technology Building, the Balzer Contemporary Art Gallery, the studios in the Academic Building and Allan Haozous Sculpture and Foundry, as well as the Library, cafeteria, garden, and Student Housing. Not only were they impressed by the school's curriculum and student engagement, the layout of the campus, the 360°views, and turquoise skies of New Mexico enhanced their IAIA experience. For information on California Tribal College, please visit their website, www.californiatribalcollege.com. Noted writer Simon Ortiz (Acoma Pueblo), honored us with a surprise visit to the campus to speak with IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin (Cherokee).

Noted Family of Artists Exhibit at Santa Fe Botanical Gardens
The Santa Fe Botanical Garden recently opened a sculpture exhibit, Conception, Abstraction, Reduction, featuring the artwork of artists Dan Namingha (Hopi/Tewa), and his two sons Arlo and Michael.
Famed sculptor Dan Namingha received an Honorary Doctorate from IAIA in 2009. He has been showing professionally as an artist for over forty years. His works command unwavering respect for the earth and spirit of his ancestry, the beautiful heritage that is the heart of his creativity.
Arlo Namingha is also a well-known sculptor. Growing up with his Native culture he started carving Katsina Dolls at an early age. Working from commissions, in his early twenties, he started producing wood sculptures and now works in wood, clay, stone, and fabricated and cast bronze. His focus changed to his art career with recent exhibits in both the Southwest and East coast. His works are included in many museums and private collections along with U.S. Embassies.
Michael Namingha is a multidisciplinary artist with a spare contemporary aesthetic. A keen observer of today's society, he creates a compelling mix of imagery and words commenting on modern interpersonal relations and contemporary culture. His ability to distill everyday conversational statements results in work that surprises and engages the viewer. His current body of work explores the vanishing and changing landscape of the American West.
The exhibit, which will be on display in the Garden until late May 2018, includes powerful sculptures that reflect the Hopi/Tewa culture of the Namingha family. While the sculptural styles of Dan and Arlo Namingha differ, the minimalist aesthetic of these two artists, combined with symbols of their culture, creates the singular and unique body of work included in this remarkable exhibit.

IAIA Library Receives Large Book Donation from John and Wilson Scanlan of the Verve Gallery
IAIA has recently received a donation of a photography book collection from John and Wilson Scanlan, partners in the recently closed Verve Gallery.
"A good reference library of photography books is a critical asset for a photo gallery business," John remarked during a recent interview. "When we closed the gallery, we wanted the collection to be accessible to the widest audience. We first approached the New Mexico History Museum to donate the collection to the New Mexico Photo Archives. The archives took as many books as they could accommodate to supplement their existing collection; however, they had limited space and couldn't accommodate the bulk of the collection. The archives suggested we contact Valerie Nye at IAIA." As Scanlan explained, Valerie reviewed the extensive list of the books in the Verve collection, and selected the ones which fit in with the IAIA library's collection. "Valerie was superbly organized, fast, and a pleasure to work with," explained Scanlan.
Once the donation was delivered to the IAIA library, John Scanlan was invited to visit. He "couldn't have been more pleased" with the facility and the way in which the donation was handled by the IAIA library team. He also had lunch with IAIA faculty and students during his visit.
"This donation of contemporary photography books is a really important addition to our library's collection. John's donation of books nearly doubled our collection of photography books," said Valerie Nye, Director of the IAIA Library. "Their generous gift will have an impact on student art and research for many years to come."

IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts Exhibition Akunnittinni Travels to the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of the American Indian in New York
When Andrea R. Hanley (Navajo), exhibition curator and membership and program manager at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) in Santa Fe, NM put together the exhibition Akunnittinni: A Kinngait Family Portrait in late 2015, she knew that it was something special, but had no idea that it would continue to have a life after the exhibition at MoCNA closed in December 2017.
The exhibition chronicles a visual dialogue between an Inuk grandmother, mother, and daughter - Pitseolak Ashoona (1904-1983), Napachie Pootoogook (1938-2002), and Annie Pootoogook (1969-2016). Their artworks provide a personal and cultural history of three generations of Inuit women whose art practices included autobiographic narratives and have chronicled intimate and sometimes harsh memories and historically resonant moments. Pitseolak Ashoona, Napachie Pootoogook, and Annie Pootoogook are among the most well-regarded artists from this region.
The works in the exhibition were on loan to the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts from Edward J. Guarino, a retired public-school teacher from Yonkers, New York. Guarino is an author, educator, lecturer, and collector specializing in Native American and Inuit Art. Other works have been loaned by Dorset Fine Arts, the marketing division of West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Hanley's Exhibition "Akunnittinni: A Kinngait Family Portrait" (featuring 18 total works, six from each artist), opened Saturday, June 10, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, George Gustav Heye Center in New York. The exhibition runs through Jan. 8, 2018.
"To me this exhibition serves as a reflection on the role of narrative between three generations of indigenous women-all from one family-which started in 1904 and ended in 2016 with the passing of Annie Pootoogook," said Hanley. "I was drawn to this very strong family voice within a tribal context. Coming from a matriarchal tribe myself, I feel this exhibition accurately represents contemporary indigenous feminist discourse. Standing in the gallery allows the visitor to feel the conversation between these women and what was vital to them--the love, the heartache, the survival, and most importantly the family."
Once the exhibition closes in New York, it is scheduled to travel to the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) in February 2018.

Hotel Chaco Partners with IAIA Alumna Patricia Michaels
In case you didn't know, the newest boutique hotel in Albuquerque teamed up with designer Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo) for their uniforms. The hotel and famed fashion designer collaborated on a limited-edition collection of signature uniforms just for the Hotel Chaco staff, which are inspired by the beautiful pottery of Chaco Canyon.
Taking her cue from the beauty of Chaco Canyon, the designs feature striking white and black geometric patterns and clay-colored creations, in which all the garments transition from day to night, season to season.
Michaels is known for her one-of-a-kind couture that defies fashion trends. Most recently, she garnered national recognition for her Peabody Essex Museum show, "Native Fashion Now" in 2015 and garnered international attention after receiving the highly prestigious Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian Arts and Design Award. She is the very first recipient of this award, a historic achievement.

Jenni James Retirement Party
After 20 years of service to IAIA, Librarian Jenni James recently retired. Library Director Valerie Nye had this to say: "Jenni has been a great colleague both on the IAIA campus and in her service to library organizations through her career. There are two things that stand out specifically about Jenni's work at IAIA. Jenni understands that students come first at IAIA, and she provided 20 years of high-quality research assistance to students either in the library or in the many library instruction classes she taught over the years. She has a genuine interest in the artwork and writing that students create at IAIA, and has endlessly supported their pursuits; in their research, presentations, and gallery openings."
Jenni's work building the library's book collection has been critical. Her work selecting art books for the library has been especially important. Jenni keep up-to-date on art publications, and she has a deep knowledge of the kind of art books students need for their classes. The books she selected provide a solid foundation for the IAIA library, and her work selecting books will be a long-lasting mark on the library's collection and students' art research for many, many years to come.

IAIA Visits documenta
Funded by the Ford Foundation, the IAIA Museum Director Patsy Phillips, Chief Curator Manuela Well-Off-Man, and IAIA students, Jonathan Loretto (Walatowa and Kotyi-tiˈ) and Carmen Selam (Yakama/Comanche) traveled to Kassel, Germany to attend documenta's Professional Days, June 8 and 9, 2017. Also funded by the Ford Foundation, MoCNA held a competition among IAIA students and a committee selected Jonathan and Carmen to attend this year's documenta. Founded in 1955, the first documenta featured artists who had a significant influence on modern art such as Picasso and Kandinsky. This important exhibition is held every five years and is limited to 100 days, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days." IAIA Associate Dean Dr. Lara Evans (Cherokee Nation) was sponsored by her department and IAIA student James Rutherfordsubsidized his trip to attend this exhibition. Former MoCNA Chief Curator, Candice Hopkins, curator to this year's documenta 14, selected Native American artists from the U.S. and Canada, as well as other indigenous artists from around the world to participate in this major exhibition. Opportunities like documenta inspire students and staff to engage with Indigenous communities world-wide and to contribute to the dialogue on Indigenous arts and culture (IAIA Strategic Plan 2020).
