How has art acted as a significant form of resistance for Native communities over the last 500 years? This thought-provoking panel will unite contemporary Native artists and art scholars to explore how their creations (along with those of other Indigenous artists) address historical injustices, reclaim Indigenous narratives, and foster a future rooted in self-representation. Join us for an enlightening discussion on the resilience, innovation, and lasting significance of Native arts.
Panelists
Tom Myer
Tom Myer is a Native artist who relocated to Boulder in 2019. He identifies as Haudenosaunee (historically referred to as the Iroquois) on his father’s side and Ngbe-Bugle from Meso-America on his mother’s side. A self-taught artist, he specializes in acrylics, pastels, pencils, and digital media.
Dallin Maybee
Dallin Maybee, a Seneca and enrolled Northern Arapaho, was raised on the Cattaraugus territory of the Seneca Nation of Indians in Western New York. He is a skilled artist, public speaker, and performer, currently serving as the Assistant Director of Development at the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). Dallin holds a B.A. in Philosophy and a Juris Doctorate from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, focusing on Federal Indian Law. His artwork is featured in numerous private collections and museums nationwide, including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the Autry Museum, the Heard Museum, and the Portland Art Museum. Dallin has received multiple accolades, including Best of Show at the Santa Fe Indian Market (2007) and the Cherokee Art Market (2020).
Nico Strange Owl
Nico Strange Owl is a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana and has collaborated with Indigenous art and artists for over forty years. She currently owns Eagle Plumes, a historic trading post located near Longs Peak in Allenspark, Colorado. Her extensive experience includes roles as a beadworker, appraiser, and consultant for Native art, as well as working with museums and operating galleries. Nico is also a descendant of survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre, deeply connecting her to Colorado.

Featured Image
Tom Myer notes on the featured image: “I appreciate this image, despite it being created by a non-Indigenous artist. It can serve as a discussion starter. Titled ‘The Murder of Whites Assistant,’ this piece from the 1880s allegedly depicts Mr. White’s assistant (Mr. White was a cartographer) being attacked by arrows from Native peoples outside the Roanoke colony. Although the representation is notably one-sided, the dramatic composition illustrates a moment of defiance against encroaching colonization.” This print is from Cassell’s History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume I, published by Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, circa 1880.

Proceeds from the powwow are essential for supporting the daily functions of our community center, historical museum, educational scholarships, weekly food pantry operations, and elder care programs, all of which positively influence local communities through a broad range of services.
In addition to members of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, many other Native American tribes, along with non-indigenous visitors from across the East Coast, partake in this annual event. Based on past experiences, we anticipate welcoming up to 10,000 guests this year.

Interested in Strengthening Partnerships with Indigenous Communities?
Native nations are vital to contemporary society, and their involvement in essential dialogues is crucial for fostering a harmonious future for everyone.
This informative seminar aims to enhance understanding of Native American cultures and governance structures, facilitating the development of robust working relationships and collaborations.
Key Seminar Topics Include:

The Foundations of Tribal Sovereignty
A Primer on Tribal Governance and Governments
Stereotypes! What to Say and What Not to Say
Secrets to Success: Non-Indigenous & Indigenous Partnerships
The Native Know-How Experience

The Native Know How (NKH) Seminar provides valuable resources, insights, and perspectives from diverse Native nations throughout the United States. Participants will benefit from the extensive experience of the Native Nations Institute team, a group of Indigenous professionals who have collaborated with over 130 tribes.
Join this knowledgeable team to discover how your organization can effectively engage with tribal communities and enhance your relationships with Native peoples and governments within your service area.
A recent participant shared, “The sessions emphasized the importance of humility, self-education, and the need to inquire about each tribe’s operational preferences. For instance, our team collaborates with various tribal councils to understand how they prefer to request local data for health and education evaluations, acknowledging that this process varies among tribes. We will return to the tribes to accurately interpret and contextualize the data, focusing on community strengths and working towards long-term tribal objectives.”
Seminar Details
This four-hour training, available both online and in-person, is tailored for organizations seeking to engage with and partner alongside Native nations on educational, business, research, and service initiatives.
