An art installation, "The Indian Congress," (2021), by multimedia artist Wendy Red Star, Apsáalooke (Crow), is included in an exhibition, "This is Not America's Flag," that explores the works of 20 artists as they explore the American flag. "The Indian Congress" recreates the 1898 gathering of more than 500 Indigenous leaders in Omaha, Nebraska, during the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. The vintage photos are drawn from the Omaha Public Library’s collection of photos by Frank Rinehart (1861–1928). The exhibit continues at The Broad Museum in Los Angeles through Sept. 25, 2022.
