In 2016 as part of a graduate seminar in Indigenous art histories, I conducted an object-based research project on flat twined "cornhusk" bags from the Nimíipuu and the Plateau region of North America. This project included using the collections at the Denver Art Museum, presenting my results in a lecture, and co-curating an  online exhibit . Our papers were also structured for inclusion in the records of the Denver Art Museum for future researchers.
