Diverse Indigenous peoples have been making art in North America since time immemorial. Opened in 2010, this gallery provides a glimpse into a wide range of materials and subjects that embody the resilience, continuity, and transformations of Native North American cultures and nations across time and place. Unlike most galleries at the MFA, this one mixes old and new belongings. It includes artworks from regions across the continent—the Southwest, Woodlands, Pacific Northwest, Arctic, Great Lakes, and Plains. Then-contemporary A:shiwi (Zuni Pueblo) pottery was among the first works of art to enter the MFA’s collection, in 1887. Nineteenth- and 20th-century Pueblo pottery, Northwest Coast carving, Northeastern basketry and quillwork and beadwork from different regions represent some of the objects that Indigenous artists made for both community use and cross-cultural trade. Works of modern and contemporary art, like pottery by Diego Romero, demonstrate new interpretations of techniques and themes.
