Gorman Museum 1316 Hart Hall University of California, Davis Hours: Noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday Lecture: Noon Tuesday, April 1 Reception: 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 1 Artist: Carl Gorman, also known by his Navajo name, Kinyionnybeyeh Oil and watercolor paintings done in the 1970s and 1980s by Carl Gorman, whose Navajo name is Kinyionnybeyeh, will be exhibited at the C.N. Gorman Museum during early April. In addition, photographs of Gorman from the collections of Kenji Kawano and Georgia Greenberg, will be on exhibit. Gorman, a Native American studies professor emeritus -- for whom the Native American studies department museum was named -- is visiting the campus from his home on the Navajo Nation at Window Rock, Ariz. Gorman began his career with his service with the U.S. Marines in World War I as a member of the elite group of Navajo Code Talkers who translated military intelligence into Navajo codes that were never broken. After the war, Gorman studied art at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, directed the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild and led a Navajo history project conducting oral interviews with Navajo elders. In 1969, UC Davis faculty member Jack Forbes invited Gorman to help develop the UC Davis Native American studies program. While on the faculty, Gorman created the Native American art studio workshop now taught by faculty member George C. Longfish. Upon his retirement from UC Davis, faculty, students and community members established the Carl Nelson Gorman Museum in honor of his contribution to Native American studies and Native American contemporary art. Gorman also taught Navajo language courses at DQ University, and gave many lectures on Navajo culture to local community groups. On Tuesday, April 1, Gorman and his daughter, Zonnie Gorman, will give a lecture and show a video on Navajo Code Talkers. The lecture will be followed later in the afternoon with an artist reception and booksigning of his newly released biography, "The Power of a Navajo: Carl Gorman: The Man and His Life," by Henry and Georgia Greenberg, who will attend the reception. From 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, Carl Gorman and his wife, Mary, will be special guests at a community potluck dinner to be held at the Rec Pool Lodge. The dinner will begin with the Cline Howard All-Indian Veterans of Foreign Wars Honor Guard salute, followed by remarks from faculty and friends. All events are free and open to the public. The exhibit is being sponsored by the C.N. Gorman Museum and the Native American studies department, along with the UC Davis College of Letters and Science, Native American Student Union, Native American cultural days, Student Programs and Activity Center, Cross-Cultural Center and the Office for Campus Diversity. The C. N. Gorman Museum is part of the Native American studies department and is dedicated to Native American artists and artists whose works address cultural, social and political issues of the Americas.
