An ancient cougar figure with a stern expression on the right and a skeleton falling from the sky indicate that we cannot sugarcoat our predicament or gloss over the consequences of polluting our environment. —Kathleen Ash-Milby, Curator of Native American Art
📍 Look for it in “Throughlines: Connections in the Collection”
