The exhibit reflects on the Seventh Generation Principle from Haudenosaunee philosophy, curator Jihan Gearon explained, which involves decision making based on the benefit of future generations � specifically seven generations into the future, past one’s own lifetime.
"The Future is Indigenous" exhibit, curated by Jihan Gearon, is part of the Contemporary Indigenous Perspectives biennial exhibition series, and showcases Indigenous excellence in arts while extending messages to current and future generations.
This exhibit is in its final days, running until June 7, so visitors are encouraged to see "The Future is Indigenous: Messages to the Seventh Generation," before it closes.
