Storytellers: The Blackfeet Nation and Charles M. Russell
Storytellers: The Blackfeet Nation and Charles M. Russell honors the reciprocity between Russell and the Indigenous people on whose land he lived and worked. For the sake of focus and clarity, it celebrates Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), and specifically Amskaapii Pikanii (Blackfeet Nation), art and culture. By presenting Niitsitapi objects from the Denver Art Museum’s collection alongside Russell’s paintings and sculptures, it offers new insight into this largely unexamined intercultural exchange.
