As part of The Land Carries Our Ancestors symposium, the National Gallery of Art invited Joy Harjo, the 23rd United States Poet Laureate, and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, curator of The Land Carries Our Ancestors, to discuss the exhibition theme of reverence, study, and concern for the land. Harjo's poem "Once the World Was Perfect" from her 2015 book Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings is featured in The Land Carries Our Ancestors catalog. Molly Donovan, curator of contemporary art and exhibition coordinating curator, introduced the conversation.
