The work of Ojibwe artist Jim Denomie (2016 NACF National Artist Fellow) is on exhibit at the Froelick Gallery through August 29.
His current works in Toppled Monuments were all begun early in 2020, prior to the outbreak of the global pandemic, then put aside during a time of uncertainty and distraction. He returned to these canvases in a shifting world during the upswell of protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in nearby Minneapolis. Some paintings refer to current events overtly, while he describes the content of others as spiritual erotic landscapes, with imagery that encompasses Indigenous symbolism, personal iconography, winking Americana, and interpreted dreams.

Native Arts and Cultures Foundation mourns the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and the many others throughout history who have lost their lives unjustly to racist human violence. Black Lives Matter. We stand with Black communities in their struggle for equality and justice. Our indigenous cultural ways teach us that we are all relatives, and remind us that one day all peoples, no matter race, culture, or any other social construct, will rise together in unity.
For more than a decade, the work of NACF has been honoring and celebrating the practice and power of Native arts and cultures. We have partnered with Native artists and culture bearers whose arts practice focused on uplifting and changing the narrative about Native peoples in this country. We are dedicating the next ten years to social, cultural, and environmental change through Native arts and collaboration.
We at NACF desire justice for our Black relatives. We desire justice for Native peoples and all peoples who have been historically traumatized based on race and ethnicity. Everyone deserves equal access to a full, vibrant life, which is essential to a healthy and just society. Everyone deserves governance and institutions that operate fairly, based on principles that uphold equity, compassion, and truth.
Because we believe in action to fulfill the conviction of our words, we commit to the following:
Support at least one artistic collaboration that speaks to the multiple identities of Native peoples, including those who also identify as Black
Invite and support Black artists and cultural leaders to participate in our NACF convening in 2021
Collaborate on a webinar with Black and Native artists to discuss their work and ways they are working together on shared interests
Develop further understanding of Black liberation and culture, and its relation to Native issues by familiarizing ourselves with the work of Black authors who are writing about relevant topics
Engage in advocacy with Black and other people of color (POC) locally and/or nationally on mutual concerns and interests
Arts and creativity are one of the most powerful ways to foster empathy and understanding, promote cultural resilience and diverse experiences, and provoke us to greater transformation. They inspire us to become better human beings. These benefits guide all of our work at NACF. We will continue strengthening our efforts with Native artists and communities and strive with Black and POC relatives to secure a more just society.

Dear NACF Friends,
Every now and again we find ourselves having to say goodbye to a member of the NACF ohana (family). It is with sadness, and immense gratitude that we bid farewell to our Director of Programs Francene Blythe.
Francene has been with NACF for over five years and will be returning home to Lincoln, Nebraska, to be closer to her parents and children. She has taken a position as the new Executive Director of Vision Maker Media, the Native consortium for PBS broadcasting. Vision Maker Media was founded by Francene’s father, Frank Blythe, so this is a unique opportunity for Francene as she returns closer to her homelands and honors her father’s legacy.
Francene told us what a difficult decision this was for her as she has been devoted in her work at NACF and committed to our mission, and she also enjoyed living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where our headquarters are located.
She was instrumental in the creation and implementation of several of NACF’s successful programs, including the Mentor Artist Fellowships, which Francene is leaving in the capable hands of our Programs staff. Through her effective leadership, she helped oversee and establish meaningful relationships with artists, tribes and various partners. We will miss Francene and her contributions to NACF, and hope for the highest success in her new endeavors back in Nebraska.
There is a Native Hawaiian proverb that says, Ho`i hou i ka iwi kuamo`o, translated as, To return to the backbone (the homeland or family) after being away. The joy and satisfaction that comes from being closer to our loved ones is immeasurable.
On behalf of the NACF board and staff we extend our blessings and best wishes for Francene’s fruitful future ahead, and look forward to maintaining our special friendship.
