Native Lives, Arts, and Cultures Today

Here,
Now
and
Always

When the original exhibition opened 25 years ago, it set a new standard for collaborating and partnering with Indigenous communities, foregrounding the voices and narratives of Native people throughout the Southwest. In this spirit, the new Here, Now and Always showcases never-before seen items, state of the art technology, and the next generation's perspectives, illustrating the ways in which the past informs the future, and further positioning MIAC as a world-renowned resource for understanding Native lives, arts, and cultures today.
