The Tribal College Relations Initiative
A Collaborative Program of
The Institute of American Indian Arts and
Smith College
June 15 July 15, 2006
The Program
In 1978 the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe,
New Mexico acquired 5,500 photo negatives taken from the
late 1940's to the early 1960's from across Native North
America. Titled the Yeffe Kimball collection after the artist
who organized the documentary project, the collection offers
unparalleled opportunity for inquiry in visual anthropology
topics such as representation, identity, agency and the
shifting trends of American Indian
social and political policies.
Now in its third season, the TCRI project offers a meaningful,
collaborative endeavor in which students and faculty work
together to explore the ethics of
fieldwork by storing, scanning and accessioning these historic
photo resources. Using the Yeffe Kimball images to spark
discussion on cultural arts
and education, TCRI provides a focus for common activities
and long-term intellectual dialogue among diverse communities.
