Here's a significant new project that is being developed and worth checking out:

Native Bound Unbound centers the lives and histories of enslaved Indigenous people of the Americas. Our mission is to expand the understanding of slavery—where it took place, whom it impacted, when it occurred, and the meaning it continues to hold today. Guided by shared values and grounded in careful research, ethical methods, and community collaboration, this work brings together teams and partners across the Americas and beyond.

Just saw two important exhibits in Albuquerque. The one on art and politics in German 1910-1945 was powerful and mirrors some of what's going on in our country today. First Wednesday of every month is free to the public. https://www.cabq.gov/.../albuquerque-museum-presents
The other was at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. Humans, microbes and fermentation--Entangled Cultures."
And check out the upcoming exhibit which examines the impact of U.S. Indian Commissioner John Collier’s brutal Navajo Livestock Reduction Program on Diné communities and homelands.
Imposed upon Navajo people in the 1930s, this federal program proposed to eliminate over half of Diné livestock herds. Against the backdrop of the Dust Bowl and the Hoover Dam, livestock reduction was an extreme response to reports of over-grazing throughout Diné Bikéyah, the Navajo homeland. Collier’s policies were carried out in ignorance of Diné land management practices and community needs. Imprisoned for resisting, Diné people were forced to watch their livelihoods decimated as their sacred animals were taken from them. Livestock reduction resulted in widespread, harmful, and long-term sociocultural, environmental, economic, and political changes throughout Diné Bikéyah. https://maxwellmuseum.unm.edu/
