The Autry will be open on Monday, October 13, for Indigenous Peoples' Day. Buy admission tickets here.
On the tipi, will see a series of black animals. These are bears and this story is about when Big Eyes fought grizzly bears. Bears are sacred to my people, which tell us why this story is depicted here. Big Eyes came up on a mother grizzly, her cubs, and another bear. The mother grizzly charged Big Eyes and she tore him with her teeth and claws. Big Eyes stabbed her with his knife. The red on all the figures represents blood wounds.
The Autry Museum of the American West acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). We recognize that the Autry Museum and its campuses are located on the traditional lands of Gabrielino/Tongva peoples and we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
