Location: Miller Art Museum

I
(ha)kirinąk / to return home features a collection of 35 artworks by Henry Payer, a Ho Chunk artist enrolled in the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska currently residing in Sioux City, Iowa. His work references the altered landscape through indigenous cartographic methods of “picture-writing” combined with European modernist models of cubism, spatial distortion, and collage. In his collages, he utilizes mixed media such as window panes, found objects, and ledger paper to create narratives about the history of the Ho Chunk people of Wisconsin and their removal westward. Payer’s fourth grandfather, Alexander Payer, lived through all stages of the removal from the state and served as an interpreter for the Ho Chunk during that time. The work offers a visual narrative of symbols and appropriated voices from American consumer society; the symbols and voices reconfigure history, the landscape, and identity.
