Artists in the exhibit, which opened June 14, are Craig George, who is of Navajo and Thai descent; John Joe, who is Navajo, Zuni, and Irish; Chris Pappan, who is Osage (Kaw), Cheyenne River Sioux, and Scottish; and Debra Yepa-Pappan, who is Jemez Pueblo and Korean.

In the introduction to the exhibit catalog, artist and exhibit curator Yepa-Pappan writes, “We, the artists, are American Indians of mixed heritage. We acknowledge the different cultures that are transfused in our own blood and make us who we are.”
