TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONG US- There are many sacred seasons of our lives, marking important periods of growth and change. One of the most joyous is the journey from childhood to adulthood. This piece displays the Rites of Passage Ceremony led by a Traditional First Nation elder, as he teaches the sacred story of girls becoming knowledgeable young women and boys evolving into responsible young men. |

ABU DHABI ART HUB
shares, “It should be a time of rich exploration as we introduce you to the history, culture, the traditional as well as the futuristic city. It is our expectation that this will be reflected in the artworks created during your residency.”
I want to thank the ABU DHABI ART HUB in the United Arab Emirates for their interest in my artwork and storytelling as an Artist-in-Residence. I have officially accepted their personal invitation and am preparing for a 17-hour flight in April. During my month-long residency, I will be representing MHA Nation, the Arikara and Hidatsa, through multiple cultural opportunities; studio visits, a storytelling event and final exhibit.

Title: "The Hunt; a Rites of Passage when we were warriors"
"The ledger piece is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to create this piece for the Nelson-Atkins Education Collection. I can see so many learning opportunities and connections for students."
- Braden Conrad-Hiebner, Education Officer
This piece is designed on the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Register of Bill & Revenue Receipts, cir. late 1800's.
The traditional rendering of the 1800's ledger art styled warriors in the background symbolically connects to ancestral traditions.
The middle ground of young men on the hunt illustrates a more contemporary version of Ledger Art. Finally a young man on the hunt at the Carlisle Industrial School in Carlisle PA.

BPH was invited to participate in this closed call for 72 artists- an ambitious curatorial project organized by Emily Arthur, Marwin Begaye and John Hitchcock.
This unique exhibit will trace relocation and imprisonment of 72 Plains Indians captured at Salt Fork OK and brought by wagon, train and boat to Fort Marion in St. Augustine FL.
This 3 year war exile(1875-1878) at the fort served as a model for the military methods of assimilation and lead to the founding of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania 1 year later.
Exhibition Schedule:
* January 16- February 28, 2015
Crisp-Ellert Museum, Flagler College, St. Augustine
* April 22- June 10
A.D. Gallery, University of North Carolina, Pembrooke
