“A Nation Unassailable” on display in Brownville

The Brownville Fine Arts Association will kick off its summer season art exhibition schedule with Tokeya Waci U (Comes Dancing First).

His show is described as “a modern look into what has always been.” Tokeya Waci U describes his work as a reflection of modern style Native American Ledger art and he traditionally uses its main purpose of having a visual reference to reflect the teachings that one would hear from their elders. He is a member of the Oglala Lakota and Haliwa-Saponi tribes. Tokeya Waci U said, “My inspiration comes from old teachings from childhood stories that I’ve either read in books or have been told by elders in my tribe(s).”

A reception and program, free and open to the public, will be held Friday, June 5, at 6:00 p.m. at the Schoolhouse Art Gallery, 427 Main Street in Brownville, Nebraska. The show ends on June 28.

The Schoolhouse Art Gallery is open Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. To schedule another time, call 402-414-2082.
