| Details: | Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke, b. 1981) works across media to explore the intersections of Native American ideologies and colonialist structures, both historically and in contemporary society. Her installations and photographic practice build upon years of research in photographic archives and museum collections of historical Apsáalooke artwork. Red Star’s CAP Gallery exhibition engages the history of the 1898 Indian Congress, an unprecedented convening of over thirty Native American tribes during Nebraska’s Trans-Mississippi Exposition. This immersive, site-specific installation draws from and reframes her research into exposition photographs, memorabilia collections, and historic sites in Omaha and Montana. Red Star draws from the Omaha Public Library’s significant collection of photographs taken by Frank Rinehart (1861–1928), a Nebraskan famous for his portraits of Indian Congress members such as White Swan, a well-known Apsáalooke scout (pictured at left). Red Star metaphorically reconvenes White Swan and hundreds of Native delegation members in the CAP gallery to investigate the Apsáalooke and Indigenous histories of Omaha.
