2022, Hillary Kempenich, Manidoowaadizi (she has a spiritual nature) -- American University Museum (Washington)
From the museum label:
"Manidoowaadizi (she has a spiritual nature) reflects upon familial stories shared with me from the many matriarchs in my family. These stories were often filled with the challenges that they faced as Indigenous youth and as Indigenous women, and how the teachings passed on from generations continue to fill their spirits with strength and perseverance. These teachings were passed on to me and the next generation, which has allowed us to remain grounded in the work that we do. The color choice in the child's garment acknowledges the multiple generations of boarding school life."
