Telling a More Complete History
<p><a href="https://americanart.si.edu/artist/george-catlin-782" target="_blank">George Catlin</a>’s paintings of American Indians seem to capture the different ways of life of Native Americans in the 1830s. Incorporating them into your classroom activities can be a tempting way to check the “analyze primary sources” box while also checking the “art integration” box. But whose stories and values are actually represented in these works? How might we tell more complete narratives in our classrooms to share multiple perspectives and gain a more nuanced and authentic understanding of this time and the peoples represented? NMAI’s Native Knowledge 360⁰ online lesson provides perspectives from Native American community members, documents, maps, images, and activities to help students and teachers understand an important and difficult chapter in the history both of Native Nations and the United States. Renée Gokey (Citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma), NMAI Teacher Services Coordinator, will co-facilitate.</p>
<p>Please note: this is for teachers of all grades and subjects.</p>

The Corner Stores of Galveston
<p>This collection offers a subset of a larger photographic survey that documented Galveston, TX in 1977. These photographs were taken as part of a wider program of photography surveys sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts to celebrate the bicentennial of founding of the United States.</p>
<p><strong><u><br>Background</u>:</strong></p>
<p>In 1975, Congress considered a proposal by senator Walter Mondale to authorize funds for the American Bicentennial Photography and Film Project (ABPFP). In the proposal, Mondale referred to the epic documentary photography program undertaken by the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression. Building on its legacy, the ABPFP would create a new visual record of the United States during the Bicentennial celebration of American independence. </p>
<p>Mondale’s proposal was passed by Congress, but without the appropriation of funds. The NEA stepped forward, adding a Bicentennial State Film Projects category under its Public Media grants, and a Photography Surveys category under Visual Arts. The impact was transformative. Federal patronage was the single most important factor in the growth of American photography in the 1970s. The Photography Surveys grants were a central component of the NEA’s success. </p>
<p>Between 1975 and 1981, a total of 219 photographers conducted 69 individual surveys in 30 states and 55 cities.</p>
<p>The Smithsonian American Art Museum holds 13 of these surveys:</p>

The Mars Hill Survey
<p>This collection offers a subset of a larger photographic survey that documented rural North Carolina in 1978. These photographs were taken as part of a wider program of photography surveys sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts to celebrate the bicentennial of founding of the United States.</p>
<p><strong><u><br>Background</u>:</strong></p>
<p>In 1975, Congress considered a proposal by senator Walter Mondale to authorize funds for the American Bicentennial Photography and Film Project (ABPFP). In the proposal, Mondale referred to the epic documentary photography program undertaken by the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression. Building on its legacy, the ABPFP would create a new visual record of the United States during the Bicentennial celebration of American independence. </p>
<p>Mondale’s proposal was passed by Congress, but without the appropriation of funds. The NEA stepped forward, adding a Bicentennial State Film Projects category under its Public Media grants, and a Photography Surveys category under Visual Arts. The impact was transformative. Federal patronage was the single most important factor in the growth of American photography in the 1970s. The Photography Surveys grants were a central component of the NEA’s success. </p>
<p>Between 1975 and 1981, a total of 219 photographers conducted 69 individual surveys in 30 states and 55 cities.</p>

The Past in the Present
<p>April 8, 2017</p><p>9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.</p><p>When navigating the reality of today and seeking to shape their futures, your students may not see the power of the past at work in their lives. As the educators of tomorrow's voters, leaders, and citizens, you know that history can serve as a roadmap and a cautionary tale. Explore the Museum's contemporary art galleries with the senior curator of contemporary interpretation to uncover the history hiding in contemporary art. Participate in activities that challenge you (and your students) to internalize the past, trace its ripples to the present, and take informed action toward change for the future.<br /></p>
