A solo exhibition now on view at the Gorman Museum of Native American Art features the artwork of Harry Fonseca drawn from the Shingle Springs Band Collection. Embracing the lifework of this tribal citizen, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians acquired an important collection of works spanning his career.

Welcome to Books of the Month, where once a month, L&S staff select works from our Bookshelf of UC Davis authors. Our November 2024 selections are in honor of National Native American Heritage Month.

The Gorman Museum of Native American Art at the University of California, Davis — unique in focusing on, exhibiting and collecting contemporary Native American art — will reopen in a new, greatly expanded location with a celebratory weekend Sept. 22 and 23 (Friday and Saturday). The occasion also marks the museum’s 50th anniversary.
