Featuring nearly 100 photographs, Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project highlights inspiring Indigenous individuals and communities who “walk the red road.”


About

Founded by Danielle SeeWalker (Húŋkpapȟa Lakota) and Carlotta Cardana (Italian), The Red Road Project provides a platform for Native Americans to share their unique stories to challenge historical accounts that often overlook and misrepresent their culture, values, and experiences. Since 2013, The Red Road Project has traversed the country to photograph and gather stories from Indigenous individuals and communities.

The resulting exhibition, Re-Discovering Native America, includes their collection of exquisite landscape and portrait photographs and detailed text of resilience that offer the perspectives of those who walk "the red road," a symbolic expression in many Native communities for living purposefully on a path of positive change. The exhibition explores eleven subject areas that address an array of topics – from reservation life to life in the city, deep connections with the land and traditions, political and environmental activism, and much more - all highlighting diverse Native nations and Tribes that share a common bond as Indigenous Americans.
