About this title

Synopsis

The Exposition of Indian Tribal Arts, Inc., was organized in 1930 for the purpose of stimulating and supporting American Indian artists by creating a wider interest and more intelligent appreciation of their work in the American public at large, and to demonstrate to the country what important contribution to our culture the Indian is making. The show included pieces borrowed from both private collectors as well as institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum at Harvard, the University of Arizona and Williams College.
