Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park is hosting an exhibit titles ‘Savages and Princess: The Persistence of Native American Stereotypes’ beginning Saturday, April 15. It will be open during normal business hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Missouri’s American Indian Cultural Center at Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park is excited to host this exhibit, which brings together 12 contemporary Native American visual artists who reclaim their right to represent their identities as Native Americans. Whether using humor, subtlety or irony, the telling is always fiercely honest and dead-on accurate. Images and styles are created from traditional, contemporary and mass culture forms.

Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park is located 12 miles north of Marshall on Highway 122. For more information about the event, call the park office at 660-886-7537.
