Los Altos History Museum presents “She Sang Me a Good Luck Song: The California Indian Photographs of Dugan Aguilar” from March 20 to June 8, 2025. This traveling exhibition features 28 compelling images that redefine conventional portrayals of Native peoples, capturing the resilience and artistry of basket makers, dancers, military veterans, and motorcyclists.Based on the Heyday Books publication edited by Theresa Harlan (Kewa Pueblo/Jemez Pueblo), the exhibit celebrates the work of the late Aguilar (Mountain Maidu/Pit River/Walker River Paiute), who spent over 40 years documenting Native cultures through his lens.
In addition to Aguilar’s photographs, the exhibition will feature videos, photographs, and objects representing the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, with a focus on the 2024 Trail of Truth, in which members of the Tribe traveled by horseback from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. to raise awareness of their fight for federal recognition.
The exhibition is presented in partnership with Exhibit Envoy, Heyday Books, and the Native Fund, and curated by Theresa Harlan and Dugan Aguilar.
