Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) alumna Joy Harjo (Mvskoke Nation) ’68 has been appointed to serve a second term as the nation’s 23rd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2020-2021.
“It is an honor to serve a second term as poet laureate, especially during these times of earth transformation and cultural change. Poetry reminds us that we are connected beyond words, and to communicate through poetry has the potential to expand the conversation into wordless depths, to help us move collectively into fresh cultural vision. To get there in understanding, we begin with the roots. In this country, the roots are found in the poetry of the more than 500 living indigenous nations.”—Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) alumna Joy Harjo (Mvskoke Nation) ’68, who has been appointed to serve a second term as the United State's 23rd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2020-2021

The Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) and the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Charmay Allred. Her legacy will live on in the countless Indigenous students and IAIA alumni she influenced with her kindness, generosity, and mentoring. For all her support and contributions to Indigenous arts and cultures, we honor her with a poem by Joy Harjo, IAIA alumna and twenty-third Poet Laureate of the United States 2019:
Eagle Poem
To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear;
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.
Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.
In beauty.
—Joy Harjo (Mvskoke Nation) ’68

The #IAIATogetherApart website is now live! It was created to give voice to the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Community—a voice to help cope with the 2020 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on a community who largely relies on day-to-day physical interaction for learning, mentoring, and communicating. All IAIA Community members are eligible to submit their stories to the #IAIATogetherApart website, which includes staff, faculty, students, alumni, board members, parents and family members, other Tribal Colleges and Universities, AIHEC, and AICF. See togetherapart.iaia.edu/submit for criteria and guidelines.
Stories can be just that, a story, or perhaps a poem, a letter—from one word to 512 words. During this pandemic, the IAIA campus, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is absent of your voice in its classrooms, hallways, walking paths, dorms, office spaces, buildings, and Café, but don’t let that stop you from vocalizing—share your voice, submit a story to #IAIATogetherApart.
After you submit a story, head over to Instagram and post photographs and videos using your story and the #IAIATogetherApart hashtag for a chance to be featured on IAIA’s social media.
#IAIATogetherApart was conceived and created by IAIA’s offices of Institutional Research (Dr. Bill Sayre, Anita Gavin, Jesse Morris) and Marketing and Communications (Jason S. Ordaz, Nicole Lawe). The website launched on Monday, March 30, 2020. For inquires, please contact [email protected].
