The Helen Volk Collection features Native American Kachinas, pottery, basketry and textiles. Native Threads features contemporary Native American quilts and is a program of ExhibitsUSA with support from The Kansas Arts Commission and The National Endowment for the Arts. Originally, quilt making was an art form learned by Native American women during the nineteenth century from white settlers and missionaries. Native American quilt makers creatively incorporated their own designs into their quilts and used colors that have symbolic meaning to their tribes. Gradually, quilt making became a traditional art form, and Native American Kansans continue the practice today. Native Threads features twelve full-size quilts and additional small works by some of Kansas, Haskell Indian Nations University.
