Video Title: Bringing It Home - Introduction
Description: The Artist Leadership Program (ALP) of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) aims to rebuild cultural self-confidence, challenge personal boundaries, and foster cultural continuity while reflecting artistic diversity. This year, we hosted four incredible artists from communities in Anchorage, Alaska; Kyle, South, Dakota; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Wendake, Ontario, Canada whose artistic experiences include printmaking, Iroquoian music and instruments, and bows and arrows. "Bringing It Home: Artists Reconnecting Cultural Heritage with Community" aims to recognize and promote Indigenous artistic leadership and knowledge, enhance the artistic growth, and development of emerging student artists and scholars. In this segment, program manager Keevin Lewis (Navajo) describes the Artist Leadership program and introduces the 2014 artists who will give presentations on their art and their goals in the program. This program was webcast on April 9, 2014 from Room 4025 at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D. C.
