For centuries, the Indigenous peoples of North America have preserved their history through art. As more and more Native Americans were displaced by westward-expanding colonialism, art became a vehicle for preserving their culture and history. Their daily lives were recorded through paintings, songs, stories, and dances.
Native American art is both functional and beautiful, acting as a bridge to Indigenous cultures and offering a unique perspective on their history. These works enrich the lives of all Americans, providing a window to the world through Indigenous eyes.
