We knew it wouldn't be long before Kevin Gover, the former dictator of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, started causing trouble. After
recognizing hundreds of illegal tribes and
pilfering the
Indian trust during the Clinton administration, he's taken his reign of terror to the
National Museum of the American Indian.
So what's his latest crime against humanity? He's promoting an exhibit at the
George Gustav Heye Center in New York City that includes the
works of someone of Tejano/Italian ancestry. That's not even a real tribe -- We couldn't find it on the
list!
"We are pleased to present this exciting collaboration with the
Heard Museum," K.Go said in a
press release. "The artists use video, painting, sculpture, photography and other media to present diverse and challenging interpretations of what it means to be indigenous today."
Can we ever trust you again K.Go? Shame!
But if you are brave enough to take this assault, "Remix: New Modernities in a Post Indian World," closes on September 21 -- four years to the day of the
opening of the NMAI in Washington, D.C.
