Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park opens Savages and Princess: The Persistence of Native American Stereotypes exhibition | Missouri Department of Natural Resources

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, APRIL 14, 2023 – Stereotypes of Native Americans are ubiquitous and familiar. The exhibition titled Savages and Princess: The Persistence of Native American Stereotypes brings together 12 contemporary Native American visual artists who reclaim their right to represent their identities as Native Americans. Whether using humor, subtlety or irony, the telling is always fiercely honest and dead-on accurate. Images and styles are created from traditional, contemporary and mass culture forms.
