From a circa-1820 being-hide shield cover with a simple drawing of a bear claw to a approximately 50-foot mock whale skeleton made out of white molded-impressionable patio chairs, the works are “personal and powerful statements of an single responding to the world around them,’’ according to Karen Kramer Russell, demonstration curator and PEM’s curator of Native American Art and Culture.

The full diversity of national art is certainly on display. The more than 70 objects in the exhibit include an magnificent war club from the 17th century that may have belonged to the Wampanoag war chief Metacom, a.k.a. Crowned head Philip, known for leading a bloody campaign against English colonists. But the show begins with an continuous gallery devoted to the glittering beads and chandelier of Cree artist Kent Monkman’s 18-foot-large glam “tipi,’’ belonging to his alter ego, the stiletto-bastard-wearing diva Miss Chief Eagle Testickle.

The essence is not to show the differences between traditional native works and contemporary pieces dripping with conceptual hip, but rather to find commonalities, said Russell.
