Rare Native American Art On Display In Sioux City

Sioux City, Iowa — Native American art from the late 19th and early 20th century is now on display again at the Sioux City Public Museum.

Museum Curator Matt Anderson says the works were last shown locally in 2004.


Anderson says the 50 prints by nine Native American artists were published in two parts as a limited edition in 1938. One group gives a unique look into the life of the people.


The second set of prints were done from the 1890’s through 1910 and feature an infamous battle.


The battle is also referred to as “Custer’s Last Stand,” as General George Armstrong Custer and all his men were killed. The prints will be on display at the Sioux City Public Museum through March 3rd.
