Members of the original company of the Native American Theatre Ensemble in front of La MaMa, New York City, October 1972 Photographer Amnon Ben Nomis (1972) Courtesy The La MaMa Archives/ Ellen Stewart Private Collection.

Written by David Bunn Martine (Chiricahua Apache/Shinnecock/Montauk), with a forward by the late Dore Ashton, this publication marks the first time that this diverse group of Native painters, sculptors, photographers, installation and media artists, performing artists, filmmakers and writers has been defined as a movement or given a name.  The encounter of Native practices and influences with mainstream art created a community in which the relationship between art and indigenous sensibility was recognized and nurtured.  The artists have shown in galleries in the heart of Soho, written articles for mainstream publications such as Art in America, and produced work that incorporates the visual strategies and social purposes of Abstract Expressionism, pop, conceptualism, and various strains of postmodernism. The paradigm shifting individual performance artists were seminal contributors to the emergence of off-off Broadway and company members of some of America’s most distinguished performing arts institutions.
