This professor of Native American and Indigenous history at Harvard University, author of Indians in Unexpected Places and Playing Indian, will speak about the oeuvre of Dakota Sioux artist Mary Sully. Completely under the radar of white art critics and even Native art historians, Sully worked from the '20s to the '40s, marrying modern abstraction with "indigenous women’s expressive traditions of the northern Plains." Deloria will argue for Sully's place in the canon.
