'Pipe of Peace' at Chazen — This “Pipe of Peace,” used in ceremonies parodying Native American culture on the campus of UW-Madison from 1891 to 1940, was brought out of the university archives for “Sifting and Reckoning: UW-Madison’s History of Exclusion and Resistance,” an exhibition opening Monday at the Chazen Museum of Art. At left are Chazen director Amy Gilman and Public History Project director Kacie Lucchini Butcher.
