Minohsayaki: Painted Robes
Opening October 4, 2025, 2nd Floor Gallery
Minohsayaki ‘Painted Robes’ presents the story of collaborative efforts by the Peewaaliaki (Peoria Tribe) and Myaamiaki (Miami Tribe), along with non-Native scholars, to reconnect with their historic practice of hide painting. This exhibition was graciously loaned by the Myaamia Heritage Museum & Archives and supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through the Humanities Without Walls Consortium, administered by the University of Illinois. It was first exhibited at the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum at Miami University in 2024 and is augmented with artifacts from the ISM’s Anthropology Collection that originate from historic Peoria Villages. The exhibition is part of the Reclaiming Stories project.
