  1. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and in cyberspace for the 2009 Fellowship Symposium.
  2. Wendy Red Star: Never call a Native person's regalia a "costume."
  3. Wendy Red Star: Blood quantum systems can contribute to erasure of Native peoples.
  4. Jeffrey Gibson: Systems of blood quantum are manufactured. Realities have moved past the system.
  5. 2007 Fellow Will Wilson asks: How should we negotiate Indian Identity? In US, tribes decide. In Canada, identity is self determined.
  6. Wendy Red Star will use Fellowship to add learning resources for Crow language to her Web site: http://bit.ly/3cactV Podcasts coming soon.
  7. Jim Denomie: Photographer Edward Curtis, famous for documenting "authentic" Native life, purposely omitted evidence of the modern.
  8. Thanks @fieldpoetry for RT!
  9. Faye HeavyShield: You are always going to face labeling of your work and who you are.
  10. Jeffrey Gibson: I am not "post-Indian." I wake up in this skin every day.
  11. Question from Mario Caro: Would you (the panel) consider yourselves post-Indian artists?
  12. Edward Poitras: Native American art is art created by an Indian person...and then you need to define "Indian."
  13. Jeffrey Gibson: Perhaps we (those on panel) have put the question of "what is Native art" behind us?
  14. Wendy Red Star: It's hard to define Native art in a way that can't be contradicted.
  15. Question at symposium from 2007 Fellow Larry McNeil: What is Native American art?
  16. Question at symposium: What museums other than Eiteljorg and @pequotmuseum are incorporating Native contemporary art into collections?
