Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion at Orange Coast College presents - Spirit of the Land. This travelling exhibition features selected works by 23 regional, national and Indigenous artists who have chosen to celebrate the country around Spirit Mountain, known as Avi Kwa Ame (Ah-VEE kwa-meh). It celebrates a recent bill introduced in Congress, that would permanently protect 443,000 acres of the area as Nevada’s fourth National Monument, to be named Avi Kwa Ame, the Mojave name for Spirit Mountain and the surrounding landscape in Southern Nevada. It is the source of life and place of origin for 10 Yuman-speaking tribes of the Mojave: Hualapai, Yavapai, Havasupai, Quechan, Maricopa, Pai Pai, Halchidhoma, Cocopah, and Kumeyaay, and is sacred land to the Hopi and Chemehuevi Paiute people. Organized by the Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and curated by Kim Garrison, Checko Salgado and Mikayla Whitmore, who were key activists, through the arts, in their advocacy for bringing the proposal forward to Congress.
