James Luna, Artifact Piece, performance first<br />
staged at Museum of Man, San Diego, 1987!<br />
“The gallery was otherwise given over to relics and dioramas honoring the revered aspects of<br />
Native American life. No part of its permanent display addressed the real problems that beset<br />
the living representation of these people. Rather, the museum placed Indian life in the same<br />
category as dinosaur skeletons and plant fossils. Luna shattered the impression that Indians are<br />
extinct by presenting himself as a breathing artifact.”!
