This Land Calls Us Home
Indigenous Relationships with Southeastern Homelands
January 27, 2025 - July 20, 2025
| Woodruff Library
- Level 3
“This Land Calls Us Home,” features the work of 25 contemporary Native American artists and designers that convey perspectives on their personal and collective Indigenous relationships with their enduring and ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States.
The show, which will be displayed in the Gallery on Level 3 of the Woodruff Library and is free and open to the public, includes more than 50 works of art that express the visions and voices of Southeastern Indigenous heritage. Also on display will be related items from the Rose Library’s collections.
“This Land Calls Us Home” was previously on view in the art gallery space in the T North Concourse at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where it was viewed by tens of thousands of visitors. It is presented by the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church (UMC), in collaboration with the UMC’s Native American Comprehensive Plan.
Mekko Chebon Kernell, an ordained Elder in the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference, originally conceptualized this exhibition. Miranda Kyle, the Michael C. Carlos Museum’s Curator of Indigenous Arts of the Americas, advised on the artist selection, oversaw the re-installation of the exhibition in the Schatten Gallery, and curated the associated items from the Rose collections.
