This collection of Native American pottery, textiles, baskets, jewelry, kachina dolls, and paintings was donated to our Anthropology department in 1972 by the children of Ruth an d Charles deYoung Elkus. This extensive collection includes works by some of the leading names in 20 th Century Native American art. Objects from the large collection are rotated through the displays allowing for a significant quarterly change to the exhibit. Using traditional methods and materials, each artist has developed his own individual style and interpretations of those traditions. Dr. Nancy Olsen, from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, will moderate a panel discussion with the three artists, Nahohai, Virgil and Natseway.
