Event Description Organized collaboratively with faculty and students from the University of California San Diego, members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, and the Kiowa Tribe, this exhibition explores hand-drawn sketches on ledger paper made by Cheyenne, Kiowa, Arapaho, Comanche, and Caddo tribal members that were taken as hostages and incarcerated without trial in 1875 in St. Augustine, Florida. Including more than 20 works from archival ledger books and 13 works by living Indigenous artists, these drawings bear witness to history and continue to inspire new generations.
