Abstract
"In thinking through ways to teach about the art of Native Americans in more contemporary and culturally sensitive ways, focusing on contemporary art of American Indians, while referencing the past, is one approach that I believe may help work against essentialism. In particular, the art of two contemporary artists-Hock E Aye Vi also known as Edgar Heap of Birds and Teri Greeves-offers many possibilit ies for teachers." (p. 178)
