Through September 16th, 2023, Ganondagan's WAMPUM/OTGOÄ exhibition featuring 18 important objects from the museé du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, four wampum belts from the Rochester Museum and Science Center and feature five contemporary Hodinöhsö:ni’ artists in this exhibition. The objects from France come from a time before the United States was formed and represent the complicated legacy of diplomacy between Indigenous nations and the colonial French.
Wampum yearns to be understood, and to deliver the meaningful messages it was assigned long ago. Here at Ganondagan, it will be given that opportunity once again.
