Beginning Friday, March 1, 2024, the Sequoyah National Research Center will host a new exhibit celebrating the last 55 years of Native American literature. “The Dawning of Contemporary Native American Literature: Momaday & More” explores the development of this genre of literature beginning with the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel House Made of Dawn by Kiowa author N. Scott Momaday. Stemming from his momentous victory, the genre of Native American Literature blossomed, paving the way for authors like Louise Erdrich, Joy Harjo, and Robert J. Conley.
The exhibit is produced in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read with the Central Arkansas Library System. The exhibit will be open through July 31, 2024. It is located in Fine Arts, Room 156.
