The Californer/10329922

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- The Swig Company is proud to present Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project, a compelling photo-docuseries installed at The Mills Building. This exhibition, which runs now until January 8, 2026, highlights inspiring stories of present-day Native American individuals and communities, providing a platform for them to share their past, present, and future in their own voices — a perspective too often excluded from the historical record.

Featuring 64 photographs Re-Discovering Native America explores contemporary narratives of Indigenous communities across the United States. This is a nationally traveling exhibition organized by Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, CA.

The exhibition is the result of more than a decade of work by multicultural artist duo Danielle SeeWalker (Hunkpapa and Oglala Lakota) and Carlotta Cardana, founders of The Red Road Project. Since 2013, the artists have documented Native stories that speak to themes of Language, Land Connection, Reservation Life, Urban Natives, Two Worlds, Activism, and 7th Generation. Their intention: to redirect the narrative toward an accurate and insightful representation of contemporary Native America, while reclaiming language and stories lost to stereotypes and erasure.

In February 2024, The Red Road Project conducted a residency in the Bay Area, gathering new photographs and stories of Indigenous communities based in Northern California. These works, alongside national stories collected since 2013, are featured in this installation at The Mills Building.

Through this ongoing series, The Red Road Project illustrates how Native American tribes and nations have endured and resisted centuries of cultural suppression, while powerfully expressing the resilience, revitalization, and continuity of Indigenous life today.
