ADVANCING AMERICAN INDIAN ART
In recent years, the celebration of Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos has been embraced and become more commonplace north of the Mexican border. This centuries-old indigenous tradition of honoring the lives of and celebrating with departed loved ones has been transformed as its observance has spread. Currently on display in the public reading area of the library, these four selections use rich text, wonderful photographs and delightful recipes to provide insight into the origins and the changes over time of this fascinating and colorful tradition. Please feel free to visit the library to review these or any other items of interest in the library and archives collections.
