• A new installation by Hock E Aye Edgar Heap of Birds, a leading Native-American artist who has completed numerous site-specific installations and public art projects and across North America and internationally. Wheel: Overlays has been conceived specifically for MOA?s Great Hall. Inspired by Native American architecture and medicine wheels, its ten semi-transparent pillars carry the outlines of forked ?tree forms? and are arranged to create a 9-meter circular space. The four surfaces of each tree are layered with words, symbolic motifs, and other markings. Together, the forms and texts chronicle the clash of Native and non-Native peoples in Colorado, with particular focus on the cosmology, history, and renewal of the Cheyenne. ?I?m there to uncover or reveal the history between the Native and the Anglo populations,? says Heap of Birds, who is of Cheyenne/Arapaho descent. ?These events changed the Native world in a very rapid and negative way forever.? Mourning, defying, exposing, honouring, renewing: the work offers a possibility of creating change through exchange, stimulating dialogue through the weapon, and regenerative tool, of art. Edgar Heap of Birds is a Professor at the University of Oklahoma. He has been exhibiting since 1979 in the U.S, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and Europe. Wheel: Overlays is presented by the UBC Museum of Anthropology, and curated by Karen Duffek, Curator, Contemporary Visual Arts.

• Learn about the canoe traditions of the Fijian, Squamish, and Haida people and understand the historical and ongoing importance of canoe culture for these Indigenous peoples. The site features interviews from Indigenous artists, canoe makers, and others to encourage students to consider multiple points of view, and to question what is historically significant and what evidence is used to determine historical significance. It also hosts a range of evidence – photographs, maps, interviews, historical texts and short films. This website was developed by MOA in conjunction with The History Education Network/Histoire et Education en Reseau (THEN/HiER).
