The Riley website is designed to be useful to students, grade six through university, their teachers, and anyone interested in the Roman empire ...

"presents new work by twelve contemporary Native artists in a series of six paired shows. The artistsóall of whom have broken fresh ground in contemporary and Native American artówork in diverse media including painting, sculpture, prints, photography, video, and installation pieces. Their themes are equally varied: contemporary events, the impact of history, the power of language, Native identity, the value of humor, and personal memories - Reservation X : The Power of Place - (dead link)
"Contemporary communities are no longer fixed, unified, or stable places; rather they exist in a state of flux. The reserve or reservation is both community and home for many Native people; yet the traditional notions of community are not without problems. In this exhibition, Reservation X: The Power of Place, we invited seven Native artists [Marianne Nicolson, Shelley Niro, Mateo Romero, Nora Naranjo-Morse, C. Maxx Stevens, Jolene Ricard, Mary Longman] to examine the ideas of community and identity." - who stole the tee pee? - (dead link)
"Reflections on Native Realities: 'Who stole the tee pee?' is a question posed by artist George Littlechild. It's another way of asking, 'What happened to our traditions?' Missionaries, soldiers, teachers, government officials, and social reformers took away much of what our ancestors had. Did they steal the tee pee? Or did they create a situation in which some of our relatives were more than willing to give it up? ... Works by contemporary Native American artists explore the impact of those changes-social, political, cultural, and personal. The artists look back in order to examine the processes of change, to understand what their relatives went through during the period of forced assimilation, boarding school education, and relocation to distant cities. The artists also reflect on their own realities that are still affected by those same forces of change or influenced by an entirely new set of circumstances."
