SUMMARY:Artist in Residence David Martin: Live Demos
DESCRIPTION:Visitors can come see live demos of David’s work. \nAbout the artist: \nDavid Martin is a Pokagon Band Potawatomi living in South Bend\, IN. Born in 1973\, he was raised in a traditional Native American home. He started dancing and singing at powwows in his preteen years\, traveling across the country with his family’s drum group\, White Thunder\, now called Ribbon Town. His interest in art started as soon as he was able to hold a pencil\, and was encouraged by family and mentors to pursue his art. In 1996\, he was introduced to tattooing\, and it allowed him an income in an art-based business while working on his painting skills. Today\, he enjoys oil painting as modern contemporary Native American artist. David focuses on how his art will affect his culture positively and to honor and respect Potawatomi culture and spirituality from the past without re-enacting it.

SUMMARY:Hand Drum Workshop with Artist in Residence David Martin
DESCRIPTION:Come make a hand drum with Pokagon Band of Potawatomi artist David Martin!\n\n\n\nThis workshop ticket includes a make-and-take hand drum\, as well as parking in our underground parking garage. This ticket does not include museum admission. Admission can be pre-purchased online or at the door\, but it is not a requirement for this workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister \nAbout the artist: \nDavid Martin is a Pokagon Band Potawatomi living in South Bend\, IN. Born in 1973\, he was raised in a traditional Native American home. He started dancing and singing at powwows in his preteen years\, traveling across the country with his family’s drum group\, White Thunder\, now called Ribbon Town. His interest in art started as soon as he was able to hold a pencil\, and was encouraged by family and mentors to pursue his art. In 1996\, he was introduced to tattooing\, and it allowed him an income in an art-based business while working on his painting skills. Today\, he enjoys oil painting as a contemporary Native American artist. David focuses on how his art will affect his culture positively and to honor and respect Potawatomi culture and spirituality from the past without re-enacting it.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Tim Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Retired FBI agent Tim Carpenter led the bureau’s Art Crimes Team investigation into one of the most prolific art thieves in history: an Indiana man who systematically looted thousands of cultural objects and human remains from ancestral sites and graves around the world. Carpenter has written a memoir about that case\, The Grave Robber. Carpenter will return to the Eiteljorg to discuss this amazing true story at 6 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 28. After the talk\, Carpenter will sign copies of his new book. \nRegister here for free admission or to purchase an advanced copy. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn The Grave Robber\, Tim Carpenter\, former FBI Lead Investigator on the Art Crime Team\, recounts one of the most extraordinary and unsettling cases in the history of art theft. Over the course of five decades\, a lone graverobber accumulated an illicit trove of over 42\,000 artifacts from cultures across the globe\, including Native American\, Haitian\, Chinese\, and others. The stolen items included nearly 500 ancestral remains\, carefully looted from sacred burial sites and cultural heritage locations. Carpenter’s team\, driven by an unwavering commitment to justice\, embarks on a harrowing journey to track down this elusive criminal and uncover the full scope of the theft. What they find is nothing short of staggering: an illegal collection of immense historical and cultural significance\, hidden away in a Midwestern home. \nPart true crime narrative\, part procedural\, The Grave Robber offers a gripping\, behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous work involved in tracking down one of the most prolific art thieves in history. Carpenter takes readers inside the FBI’s groundbreaking investigation\, detailing the complex challenges of recovering stolen cultural artifacts and the legal and moral dilemmas of repatriating them to their rightful communities. Along the way\, the Bureau’s efforts to confront these crimes evolve\, as they come to terms with the deep historical wounds caused by such looting—especially the desecration of Native American graves and ancestral sites. With rare access to both the investigation and the impacted communities\, Carpenter’s narrative sheds light on the lengths the FBI and tribal representatives go to in their pursuit of justice. \nAs the case progresses\, the narrative expands from a tense pursuit of a criminal to a larger reckoning with history and cultural heritage. The repatriation of these sacred objects and remains to their rightful owners becomes an act of restoration—not just of physical artifacts\, but of dignity and respect for the communities whose ancestors were so violently wronged. The story of The Grave Robber is one of redemption and transformation: for the FBI\, which redefined its approach to cultural crimes\, and for the tribes and cultures who finally see justice done. This riveting account of a stolen past and the quest to make it right reads like a thriller\, but it is ultimately a story of healing\, responsibility\, and the importance of preserving history for future generations. \nAuthor Bio \nTim Carpenter is the FBI’s Art Crime Team Senior Special Advisor. Carpenter also led the Art Crime Team for nearly 6 years\, and was the first member of the team promoted from within to lead it. He is a former bomb technician and police officer and served nearly twelve years in the US Air Force and Air Force Reserve as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. \nCarpenter is frequently sought after for interviews and feature pieces\, and has conducted more than 100 interviews for television\, print\, radio\, podcasts\, and online formats. He has been featured in Vanity Fair\, the Washington Post Magazine\, on NPR\, CBS\, and more. He has also served as a speaker\, lecturer and panelist at a variety of prestigious venues\, including Congress\, the Smithsonian\, and George Washington University Law School. \nCarpenter started and led the FBI’s largest recovery of stolen and looted cultural property in the Bureau’s history during the landmark Don Miller case. The case marked a turning point for how the FBI approaches sensitive cultural matters\, particularly related to Native American tribes. For his efforts in the repatriation process of ancestral remains and historic objects\, Carpenter received the Public Service Award from the Society for American Archeology. He is also the recipient of the FBI Director’s Award – the highest honor in the FBI. \nPlease contact us at museumprograms@eiteljorg.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence Niap Saunders: Adults Workshop
DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/watercolor-workshop-with-artist-in-residence-niap-saunders-tickets-1537802612009?aff=oddtdtcreator \nLocated in the Education Studios \nAbout the artist: \nNiap (Nancy Saunders) is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist whose work has been collected by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Quebec and Avataq Cultural Institute in Westmount\, QC\, among others. Based in Montreal\, QC\, the artist divides her time between the city and her home community of Kuujjuaq\, Nunavik\, QC—a place that continues to deeply influence her work.\nHer practice shifts between carving\, textiles\, paintings\, photography\, and more. Through each medium\, she explores and investigates her identity as an Inuk woman. “I have been learning more about and finding this new pride in my culture\,” she explains\, “which has allowed me to create depth in my work”. Niap is an advocate for her community and culture. As a teenager she walked from Duncan\, BC\, to Ottawa\, ON\, to raise awareness for Indigenous youth suicide prevention. Also a throat singer\, she has performed at several public events including a 2014 ceremony in Quebec that recognized throat singing as a form of intangible heritage under the Cultural Heritage Act. In 2019\, her first solo exhibition Ivalu was held at Feheley Fine Arts in Toronto\, ON\, and focused on traditional tattooing practices.

SUMMARY:In The Company Of Our Relatives Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 16 for a powerful day of reflection\, storytelling\, and dialogue during two special panel discussions centered on the Richard Pohrt Jr. Collection and the official release day of the groundbreaking Native-led publication\, In the Company of Our Relatives. This new book brings together personal stories that explore deep-rooted relationships\, cultural reconnections\, and the enduring legacy of the Indigenous makers whose artistry continues to inspire today. \nThanks to a generous grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.\, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art acquired the Richard Pohrt Jr. Collection in 2018. This extraordinary collection features cultural belongings from tribal nations of the Great Lakes region. These works embody the innovation\, beauty\, and profound knowledge of Indigenous artists whose creativity was shaped by the land and lifeways of their ancestors. \nIn the Company of Our Relatives is not a traditional academic study. Instead\, it is a vibrant tapestry of voices from Native descendants of the original makers\, offering reflections that are deeply personal and rooted in oral traditions. Each essay was edited with care not to revise\, but to honor and preserve the integrity of each contributor’s voice. Together\, these stories offer a rare and intimate glimpse into the living relationships between Indigenous people and their ancestral belongings. \nThis project began with prayer and intention\, guided by the understanding that these belongings are not mere artifacts. They are relatives—vessels of gikendaasowin (knowledge) and expressions of Anishinaabe Indendamowin (ways of living). They testify to the resilience\, brilliance\, and creativity of the Ancestors\, and to the power of memory\, story\, and connection that lives on through their descendants. \nDon’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from the contributors themselves and engage in a meaningful conversation about cultural memory\, reclamation\, and the vital role of Indigenous storytelling. \nPanel One: 11 am – 12 pm\, including collector Richard Pohrt Jr.\, Monica Raphael (Anishinaabe/Sicangu Lakota) Hoback Curator of Great Lakes Native Art Cultures and Community Engagement for the Eiteljorg Museum\, and some of the contributors\n\nPanel Two: 1 pm – 2 pm\, including Monica Raphael (Anishinaabe/Sicangu Lakota) Hoback Curator of Great Lakes Native Art Cultures and Community Engagement for the Eiteljorg Museum and some of the contributors \nA book signing will take place following the second panel discussion. \nClowes Sculpture Court
