Hello All,
I have been very busy these past few weeks with school work. Today I defended my thesis and passed so that is a relief!
I'm heading to the Otsego institute, Cooperstown next week for a week long conference on Aboriginal art, curatorship, theories of the object, collecting and connoisseurship held at the Fenimore Art Museum. I'm looking forward to presenting my thoughts on Metis identity and art and also to exploring Cooperstown and the collection of Native American Art at the Thaw Collection.
Have you ever been to Cooperstown? How did you like it?
Extra ! Extra! Later this week I hope to post an essay on Barry Ace's artistic practice. I will also be having a guest blogger contribute her thoughts on Onkwehonwe Corn Husk Dolls so stay tuned!

The Otsego Institute is great! I have attended twice. You'll do a lot of hard thinking, good talking, and they will take good care of you! Wish I were there!
