Join Heather Leavell, Cyrus Dallin Art Museum director and curator, for a free program that will cover the history of three local Dallin works:

Menotomy Hunter (Arlington)
Massasoit Ousamequin (Plymouth)
Appeal to the Great Spirit (in front of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston)

She will illustrate how Dallin employed his position as an internationally acclaimed sculptor to fight for Indigenous rights through humanizing portrayals of Indigenous peoples, extensive public education, and efforts to reform harmful federal vanishing policies. Learn about Dallin's close, collaborative relationships with Indigenous leaders and non-Native activists, and the positive impacts of their work together. Leavell will also discuss what allies today might learn from Dallin's example. This program is cosponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Art Association.
