About
The exhibition artefacts come from European and American museums, and also include Sitting Bull’s personal effects.
Vapriikki is organising the exhibition in co-operation with the Museum für Völkerkunde, in Vienna, and Bremen’s Übersee-Museum. The exhibition curator is Christian Feest, who is the leading European expert on North American Indians. Riku Hämäläinen from the University of Helsinki served as the Finnish scientific expert for the exhibition.
