The Sioux Project - Tatanka Oyate fills a major gap in our understanding of contemporary Sioux aesthetics in North America with a specific focus on the knowledge and practices of Lakota, Nakota, Dakota (Sioux) communities in Saskatchewan, Canada. This publication reflects over three years of on-the-ground research involving a team led by Lakota video/performance artist Dana Claxton, art historian Lynne Bell, artist Gwenda Yuzicappi, and filmaker Cowboy Smithx. The video footage gathered over the course of multiple visits to Sioux communities across Saskatchewan formed the basis of Claxton's four-channel video installation.

The book was published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name of Dana Claxton at Mackenzie Art Gallery September 30, 2017-January 7, 2018 curated by Carmen Robertson.

Beautiful hard cover book printed on kraft paper.
