MacKenzie Art Gallery: "Professional Native Indian Artists Inc" exhibtion opening

Last night we attended the opening of an amazing retrospective of the Professional Native Indian Artists Inc at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Unfortunately we arrived a bit late and the talks in the lobby of the TC Douglas Building had begun and we were in the far back, standing room only. They had many speakers and some performances, most of which we could barely hear and certainly not see so we slipped upstairs early to see the work ahead of the crowd. It will be up until early January so anyone in the area should try to make it by to look. William and I always love the work of Norval Morrisseau and Daphne Odjig, whose work evoke endless interpretations and we love to stand in front of them and have conversations. The crowd was huge and the food was excellent. The Sioux Chef made some delicious slow cooked bison marinated in maple and served on skewers. I had seconds.
