Exhibits

NOW SHOWING:
BILL SOZA WARSOLDIER
Oil Painting from the Aspen Wolf series

Bill Soza Warsoldier,
(Soboba Band of Cahuilla Indians/White Mountain Apache), is one of the primary catalysts for a change which would make all of us "never look at Indian Art the same way again." His work has a sophisticated starkness which almost forces an observer to be aware of the truths he talked about as a young man, and of which he talks of now. Please contact the Sherman Indian Museum for exhibit days and times. (951)276-6719. Visit warsoldierartwork.com for more information.

NOW SHOWING:
PEGGY GOODAY
Apache Stories Series

Bio coming soon!

Sherman Cemetery

This school was founded by the United States Government to assimilate Native Americans into the mainstream society, upon which hundreds of Native American children were removed from their homes and tribal cultures, sent to these schools to be educated, taught a trade and required to conform to Euro-American society. Because of Bureau policies, students did not return home for several years, many of whom died and were buried in the school cemetery.
