From My Point of View
Bringing Peyote Arts to Market: Consumers, Curators, and Collections Building
Noon, Gallery 18

Daniel Swan, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Oklahoma and associate curator of ethnology at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, will examine the rapid growth of the Peyote religion among the Navajo and the expanded commercial availability of Peyote arts in
and around the Navajo Nation. Using data and insights gained from 20 years of research, Swan
concludes that the Navajo situation is far from unique and is, in fact, one episode in the cyclical history of the commercial availability of Peyote arts. Free with museum admission.
