Title: NDN Medicine

On View: December 4 2019-February 4 2020

Work Description: NDN = American Indian. All of the 39 + American Indian tribes that moved to Indian Territory (what we now call Oklahoma) brought Indian Medicine with them from their original homelands. Indian Medicine is not for sale, it is not another name for “homeopathic” medicine or herbalism. Indian Medicine is plants, animals, storytelling, dancing, singing, smoke, food, togetherness, it is laughter and it is crying. Indian Medicine is still very powerful here. Indian medicine is for everyone and is being practiced all around you.
