Welcome to the online version of Lakota Emergence, an educational art exhibit. It features artworks by sixteen contemporary Lakotan artists. This exhibit organizes the traditional published account of the emergence narrative into sixteen passages.

Preceding the passages is a brief introduction and background information on events that precipitated the emergence of Lakotan ancestors onto this earth. The passages are each presented in italicized reddish text on its own numbered (in Lakotan) page. Following each passage is an image of the artwork created to be related to it and after that is a curatorial interpretation of the relationships between the artwork, the passage and issues in Lakotan country today. The last page of this exhibit presents historic and contemporaroy information about the descendants of the families that emerged onto this world.
