Native people have adapted to the ever-changing world while keeping pride in tact, languages alive, and diverse cultural distinctions. Yet a homogenized and uniform image of Native people remains in the general public eye. In addressing this, Burton’s photographic component of individuals, families and households on God’s Lake are combined with an archival image of Monnet’s great-grandmother and textured birds in flight printed on large format Plexiglass; alongside are Monnet’s video projections of landscapes transforming thegallery environment into a landscape place where her greatgrandmother might have dwelled. Together, this collective exhibition will extend Urban Shaman into an intimate community – echoing a form of a spiritual space from constructed imagery, sound and effect. Making this opening an experience to remember.
