Two finalists for IAIA president
The Institute of American Indian Arts heard from one of its two
finalists for president at a public forum Thursday.
Joe Baker spoke to a full house in the institute's auditorium, answered
questions on the importance of education and told how he would recruit
more students. "More than 60 percent of Native Americans live in urban
areas," he said. "We need to face the facts that we need to be in the
larger cities recruiting."
A forum for the other finalist, Cassandra Manuelito-Kerkvliet, is
scheduled for 9 a.m. today.
Baker is the Lloyd Kiva New curator of fine art at the Heard Museum in
Phoenix. Manuelito-Kerkvliet is a member of the National Science
Foundation's biological sciences advisory committee and an advisory
board member of the William D. Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and
Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming.
