Angel De Cora: Winnebago Artist and Innovator

Angel De Cora (Hinųk Max̄iwi-Kerenąka, “She Returns to the Sky,” Winnebago/Ho-Chunk; 1871-1919) was an influential artist and illustrator, designer and teacher, and the first Native American graduate of Smith College (class of 1896). Curator and scholar Yvonne Tiger (Smith ’03) will introduce De Cora’s work and her powerful but nearly-forgotten legacy as an educator of Native American youth, a respected artist and illustrator who worked with the finest Native American authors and intellectuals of her day, and an innovative graphic designer and book artist whose work resonates in today’s visual world. The multi-media presentation will be followed by a reception in the Parish Hall. Images of Angel de Cora and her work will be on view in the Parish Hall through December 2nd.
