items for our display.
The Native American Showcase of Great Basin Artistry is the third annual Indigenous

The first art display was launched in recognition of National Native American Heritage
Month in 2020. It was in honor and respect to the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California.
The second exhibit was The Many Faces of Native America. It showcased student, faculty
and staff art who represented a variety of Indigenous Nations.
We were blessed to receive a large display from UNR Professor Merton Running Wolf;
his unique pieces were the highlight of the exhibit, Rondeaux said.
