LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR AND CEO
Welcome to the Heard Museum!
For more than 80 years, the Heard Museum
has attracted visitors from around the globe
who come to learn about the arts and cultures
of the Native peoples of the Americas. We
hope you enjoy this oasis of Spanish Colonial
architecture with courtyards, water features
and sculpture gardens. The Heard Museum,
which has more than 130,000 square feet of
galleries, classrooms and performance space, is
known worldwide for its exhibits and programs
celebrating Native artists, and for its Shop, which
provides the opportunity to purchase museumquality,
authentic American Indian artworks.
The Heard Museum actively collects and exhibits American Indian art, from
centuries-old drawings and pottery to contemporary paintings, sculpture,
ceramics, jewelry, textiles and photography. The Heard is nationally and
internationally recognized for the quality of its exhibits, which provide insight
into the cultures and histories of Native people, and for the sensitivity of its
presentation and interpretation of American Indian art.
Our changing exhibit schedule and slate of annual festivals mean there is always
something interesting to see and do at the Heard. Plan to have lunch in our
Courtyard Café, which has received rave reviews; visit our Museum Shop and
our Bookstore; or ask us about private use of our facility for business events or
family gatherings.
Our staff hopes you enjoy your visit. Whether you are a visitor or a resident of
Phoenix, we hope you will consider joining the museum. Members receive free
admission year round; a 10% discount in our Shops, Cafés and on online sales;
a subscription to our magazine; and invitations to special events. And most
important, you will be helping to support this very special museum.
Sincerely,
ON THE COVER: Thomas “Breeze” Marcus (Tohono

MUSEUM NEWS & EVENTS
MEET THE HEARD’S NEW DIRECTOR
James Pepper Henry has been named as the Heard
Museum’s director and CEO. Henry comes to the Heard after
a successful six-year tenure at the Anchorage Museum at
Rasmuson Center, Alaska’s premier art, history and science
institution. There, he oversaw the completion of the museum’s
$110 million, 80,000-square-foot expansion, including the
debut of the new Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center exhibition
hall and the new Imaginarium Discovery Center.
“We are very pleased to announce that Jim Pepper Henry will become the new
director of the Heard Museum,” said Heard Museum Board of Trustees Chair
Mark Bonsall. “An extensive national search was conducted to find the person
who will lead us into the future.”
“I am honored to have been selected as the next director and CEO of the Heard
Museum, one of the premier institutions of American Indian art and culture
and an American treasure,” said Pepper Henry. “I look forward to working with
the board, staff and community to present exciting exhibitions and programs,
expand its audiences and steward the Heard into a new era.”
Pepper Henry formerly served as an associate director of the Smithsonian’s
National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) where, for nearly 10 years,
he managed a wide variety of American Indian community-oriented programs,
services, and traveling exhibitions. Pepper Henry played a pivotal role in the
establishment and launch of NMAI, located on the National Mall in Washington,
D.C., that opened to the public in 2004.
Pepper Henry is a member of the Kaw Nation of Oklahoma and Muscogee
Creek Nation. He is co-founder and president of the Kanza Ilóshka Society, a
non-profit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the cultural life-ways
and traditions of the Kaw people.
He is a graduate of the University of Oregon and a recipient of the University’s
prestigious Council for Minority Education Leadership Award. He is also a
graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
Pepper Henry will assume his duties on August 5. Hear about our new director’s
ideas and plans for the Heard at the Heard Museum Guild’s monthly meeting
on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 10:30 a.m. in the Steele Auditorium.

July, Aug., Sept. – 2013

“GEORGIA O’KEEFFE IN NEW
MEXICO: ARCHITECTURE,
KATSINAM AND THE LAND”
MAKES STOP IN NATIONWIDE
TOUR AT THE HEARD
Opening Sept. 28, 2013;
Through Jan. 12, 2014
This exhibit, organized by the Georgia O’Keeffe
Museum in Santa Fe., N.M., with appropriate
Hopi katsina dolls curated by the Heard, focuses
on O’Keeffe’s (1887-1986) experiences as she
made New Mexico her part-time, later full-time,
home, which inspired her as she expanded her
visual vocabulary and broadened the concept of
American Modernism.
The Heard will be incorporating appropriate katsina dolls (katsina tithu) into
the exhibit with interpretation from one of the exhibit advisors, Alph Secakuku
(Hopi), who is the author of the Heard’s Following the Sun and Moon
publication, said Dr. Ann Marshall, the Heard’s vice president for curation and
education.
“This is an opportunity for the Heard’s visitors to see O’Keeffe’s approach to
subject matter taken up by Hopi artists past and present,” Marshall said.
O’Keeffe began spending part of the year living and working in New Mexico
in 1929, a pattern she rarely altered until 1949. She then made Northern
New Mexico her permanent home three years after the death of her husband,
celebrated photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who was America’s first advocate of
modern art.
O’Keeffe was inspired to paint and draw New Mexico’s distinctive churches,
crosses, folk art, representations of katsinam (carved and painted representations
of Hopi and Pueblo spirit beings, also called kachinas), as well as the
astonishingly beautiful, painted desert that surrounded her Ghost Ranch house.
The exhibit opens to the public Saturday, Sept. 28.

10 EXHIBITS
July, Aug., Sept. – 2013

We Are! Arizona’s First People
Discover each of Arizona’s 21 federally recognized tribal
communities. Hear Arizona’s Native peoples explain their
histories, cultures and discuss their futures in their own
voices. This exhibit is a celebration of our Native people’s
triumph over adversity and their return to vibrant, growing
communities.
Remembering Our Indian School Days:
The Boarding School Experience
This powerful exhibit immerses visitors into the story
of American Indian children who were forced by the
federal government to attend residential boarding schools
hundreds of miles away from home. This exhibit examines
the system of off-reservation Indian boarding schools,
which separated children from their families and stripped
them of their cultural identity and language.
Around the World: The Heard Museum Collection
Explore the cultural traditions of Native peoples from
around the world in this exhibit of artwork from North and
South America, Africa and Oceania. Much of the work on
display is from the original collection of Dwight and Maie
Heard. Also featured are important works from donors
such as Byron Harvey III that have had a significant role in
shaping the museum’s collection.
N. Scott Momaday: Art and Poetry
This exhibit pairs together paintings, monoprints and
writings by N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa), a Pulitzer Prizewinning
author and playright. The result is a powerful
exhibit that blends his varied works of art together.
American Indian Veterans National Memorial
Service and sacrifice spanning more than three centuries
are honored in the first and only known national memorial
to American Indian veterans of many conflicts. The
memorial, located outside the Berlin Gallery, contains
panels describing the devotion of American Indian soldiers
to their country and includes several heroic sculptures.
