UNLV resides on the traditional homelands of the Nuwuvi, Southern Paiute People. The exhibit was curated by MFA Art student Fawn Douglas (2021), and ran November 1-December 10, 2021. The records contain exhibit planning documents, correspondence, publicity, loan agreements, and photographs of objects and installation views for exhibit catalogs. Also included are photographs and videos taken during the symposium events at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Auditorium and the Paul Harris Theatre and the exhibit's closing event held at the Donna Beam Gallery. The collection also includes archived web captures of the AH'-WAH-NEE exhibition website and for Nuwu Art + Activism Studios. AH'-WAH-NEE is Paiute for 'balance'.
