The title for this exhibit is one Lakota word: "Takuwe." In English: "Why." The focus of the exhibit is the 1890 massacre of Lakotas at Wounded Knee, but it doesn’t begin or end with the killings. Its intent is to begin with positives and to close with a call to action.

The exhibition is divided into seven chronological sections, which are accompanied by the artworks, poetry and songs of contemporary Lakota artists.

Takuwe is curated by Craig Howe, .

A public reception will be held at South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Art Museum on Thursday, November 15, 2018 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Craig Howe will discuss this exhibition at 5:45 p.m.
