Two hundred masterpieces of Indigenous art from North America,
accompanied by essays on the collection and the current issues affecting
Indigenous communities.
Here, Now: Indigenous Arts of North America at the Denver Art Museum
features two hundred of the Denver Art Museum's most notable Indigenous
artworks. Aimed at both longtime fans of Indigenous arts and those
coming to them for the first time, this expansive book reinterprets the
collection and offers new insights into the historic and contemporary
work of Indigenous artists. The artworks--covering a range of media,
artistic traditions, and time periods--are organized geographically and
invite readers to make connections between the artworks and the places
they were produced. The book also includes contributions by Indigenous
authors reflecting on the collection and the current issues that affect
contemporary Indigenous communities.
Contributors include John P. Lukavic, Dakota Hoska (Oglála Lakȟóta), and
Christopher Patrello; with Kathleen Ash-Milby (Navajo), Susan Billy
(Hopland Band of Pomo Indians), Jeffrey Chapman (White Earth Ojibwe),

(Seminole/Pawnee), Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit/ Unangax̂), Joe Horse
Capture (A'aniiih), Terrance Jade (Oglála Lakȟóta), Zachary R. Jones,
