Join us at the Stanley Museum of Art for our Sundays with the Docents tour where Stanley docents create unique tours to share with our audiences throughout the year.

In the Art by Indigenous Americans tour, Docent David Duer will look at some of the ways Native artists examine and express their cultural heritage.

The Muscogee poet and musician (and former U.S. poet laureate) Joy Harjo, in her poem “Conflict Resolutions for Holy Beings,” offers words that serve as our tour theme: “Recognize whose lands these are on which we stand./ Ask the deer, turtle, and the crane./ Make sure the spirits of these lands are respected and treated with goodwill.”

David Duer is a writer and a retired high school language arts and humanities teacher. He now volunteers as a docent at the Stanley Museum of Art and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. His memoir writing and poetry can be found at www.davidduerblog.com.

This tour is part of the Sundays with the Docents program. Registration is strongly recommended. Walk-ins are welcome, but tours are capped at 20 participants.
