As a collection, it also chronicles the history of changing attitudes about the status of Native American art and the varying motivations for collecting and displaying it.Only within the past few decades have museums begun to give Native American art its rightful status among the world's creative traditions and Native American voices their proper standing.Today, the Peabody Essex and other progressive museums work to present Native American art in partnership with Native artists, communities, and viewpoints.Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic was born in a spirit of collaboration between the Government of Nunavut and the Peabody EssexMuseum. We are extremely grateful to the Canadian federal government and the Government of Nunavut's Department of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth for making this wonderful project possible. We deeply appreciate the support of the Constance Killam Trust and the Elizabeth Killam Rodgers Trust. Special thanks are also due to the Honorable Ronald A. Irwin, Canadian Consul General to New England, whose initial interest in this project and continuing encouragement—as well as that of his staff-has been invaluable.
