Time Out says

A New York-based Mohawk member of Six Nations of the Grand River, Native American artist Alan Michelson has spent 30 years examining the historical, cultural, political and environmental context of indigenous life in the United States. His titular work, for example, comprises webcam footage of red wolves in the wild, transforming their status as an endangered species into a metaphor for the displacement of the Wolf tribe of the Lenape people, who were driven from their lands around the Delaware River in 1740. This piece and others realized through video, sound, print and augmented reality make up this striking show.
