Reciprocal Relations speaks of the power our relationships hold and the value and respect we have for our past, present, and future ancestors. As contemporary representations of the Women from the Oceti Shakowin Oyate (People of the Seven Council Fires, colonially known as the Sioux Nation), Jaida Grey Eagle and Mikayla Patton’s work is rooted with a sense of resistance and survival, sharing histories that counter the many inauthentic narratives that abound. Upholding sustainability and embracing materials revered by past generations, every piece is a modern interpretation of Indigenous culture, a story told by a powerful voice that instructs us to listen and to learn.

Mitákuye Oyásʼiŋ is a phrase in the Lakota language and culture that loosely translates to “we are all related” or “all my relatives.” It is used by Lakota and non-Lakota alike. The phrase has been appropriated as an all-encompassing idea of inclusiveness. This exhibition is a reflective journey highlighting Lakota female perspectives surrounding this idea and concept of Mitákuye Oyásʼiŋ. The project aims to engage Lakota artists, scholars and general audiences to reflect on the (mis)appropriation of this phrase through mixed and multimedia installations. The exhibition provides an opportunity to share the Lakota language and build understanding within the Titonwan communities as well as Native and non- Native populations through the arts and culture. Opening October 21at the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans, New Orleans LA.
