Other information:
The exhibition consists of seventy-three antique photographs of Native American subjects, including photographs printed from antique glass lantern slides, as well as eighty-four Native American artifacts including Navaho and Pueblo textiles, pottery and jewelry. All the images and artifacts were collected by George Hubbard Pepper between 1895 and 1905. Pepper was the first anthropologist/archeologist to excavate Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico, America's most spectacular Native American ruin. The images and objects on display are representative of Pepper's large archive which until this exhibition has been mostly unknown, unpublished and rarely seen by the public.

This event is a museum event and expects 101-500 people.
