The people of West and Central Africa have created one of the most dynamic and diverse art forms on the globe. Most of us are familiar of the contributions which Africa has made to music, dance and cuisine, but others may not be aware of the strong influence that African art has had on what we consider "Modern" art.

A mask is any device which wholly or partially conceals the face. It is significant to note the word "person" derives from a Greek word meaning mask, or the role played by an actor in a dramatic performance. Thus our faces reveal our social selves: who we are in relation to other members of our society by virtue of the roles we play in it.

Milwaukee Public Museum
The Milwaukee Public Museum has, from its beginnings, taken an active interest in anthropology and anthropological research. When Samuel Barrett joined the museum staff in 1909, the museum gained an enthusiastic field photographer. To prepare anthropology exhibits for the young Milwaukee Public Museum, Barrett and other staff members went into the field to collect specimens, artifacts, and data; and photographs became a natural and necessary extension of their field notes.

Veterans are greatly respected in Native American societies and this honor is nowhere more apparent than at powwows. In a Grand Entry, the veterans are asked to carry a flag and are the first to enter the powwow circle.
