  Curator of North American Ethnography at the Peabody Museum of Archaeolog
 y and Ethnology at Harvard University. She received her BA in Anthropology
  from Indiana University and her MA\, MPhil\, and PhD in Anthropology from
  Columbia University. Before taking up her position at Harvard\, McLaughli
 n previously held professorial and curatorial positions at the University 
 of Missouri-St. Louis\, the Missouri Historical Society\, Indiana Universi
 ty\, Purdue University\, and Southwestern University. She has curated or c
 o-curated numerous exhibitions\, including “The Legacy of Penobscot Canoes
 : A View from the River” (Peabody Museum\, Harvard\, 2014-2016)\, “Wiyohpi
 yata: Lakota Images of the Contested West” (Peabody Museum\, Harvard\, 200
 9-2015)\, and “From Nation to Nation: Examining Lewis and Clark’s Indian C
 ollection” (Peabody Museum\, Harvard\, 2003-2008). McLaughlin’s book-lengt
 h publications include A Lakota War Book from the Little Bighorn: The Pict
 ographic “Autobiography of Half Moon” (Cambridge\, MA: Houghton Library of
  the Harvard College Library\, Peabody Museum Press\, 2013) and Arts of Di
 plomacy: Lewis and Clark’s Indian Collection (Cambridge\, MA: Peabody Muse
 um of Archaeology and Ethnology\; Seattle and London: University of Washin
 gton Press\, 2003).In her talk at the BGC\, McLaughlin will describe resea
 rch on\na recently discovered nineteenth-century ledger book filled with d
 rawings by\nPlains Indians warriors that was originally collected on the L
 ittle Big Horn\nbattlefield after the Custer fight in 1876. Analysis of th
 e document has generated\na new understanding of how Plains Indians respon
 ded to American national\nexpansion and colonialism and how those response
 s were registered in graphic\nand material forms. While “ledger art” has b
 een widely studied\, it is apparent\nthat scholarly interest in the images
  has deflected attention away from\noriginal indigenous meanings. Can curr
 ent art historical efforts to incorporate\nindigenous material cultures in
 to a universalist framework of “art” be\nreconciled with anthropology’s em
 phasis on culturally-specific knowledge and\nvalues?Light refreshments wil
 l be served at 5:45 pm. The\npresentation will begin at 6:00 pm. RSVP is r
 equired. PLEASE NOTE that our Lecture Hall can only accommodate\na limited
