The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian, located in Evanston, is a unique institution dedicated to showcasing the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and arts of Indigenous people from the United States and Canada. Since its establishment in 1977, this museum has been a valuable educational resource, fostering a deeper understanding of Indigenous peoples and celebrating their diverse cultures and contributions.

Mark M. Jourdan, a portrait sitter at the event, has a fascinating background as a member of the Ho-Chunk and Oneida nations. Growing up in Chicago, he traveled extensively with his family, immersing himself in the vibrant Pow-Wow circuit and developing a deep appreciation for music. Today, Mark not only performs music but also teaches guitar and voice training, aiming to convey emotions through his music.

Kim Vigue, another portrait sitter, is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation and a descendant of the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin. With over 20 years of experience, she has dedicated her career to supporting Native children, families, and communities through culturally relevant initiatives. As the founder of Wolf River Consulting Group and former Communications Director at the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education, Kim brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Mitchell Museum.
