First Nations Artists Honored in Indianapolis Museum

Indianapolis’ Eiteljorg Museum welcomed two First Nations artists residing in British Columbia, Sonny Assu and Catherine Blackburn, for a contemporary Indigenous art exhibit in November 2021. Assu and Blackburn were awarded the 2021 Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship, which included the distinction of participating in the Shifting Boundaries contemporary art exhibit. Sonny Assu, Ligwilda’xw of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nations, is skilled in paint, installations, and printmaking. Catherine Blackburn from the English River Dene First Nation works in fashion, installations, and mixed media. Both artists were honored in an awards ceremony on November 11, 2021, during which the Consul General in Detroit provided remarks and toured the exhibit. The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, founded in 1989, has been dedicated to inspiring an appreciation and understanding of that art, history, and cultures of the American West and the Indigenous peoples of North America.
