The Ute Indian Museum in Montrose opened a new exhibit in September featuring the work of artist and activist Gregg Deal.

Deal is a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and was Native Arts Artist-in-Residence at the Denver Art Museum in 2015-2016.

His new exhibit, "Merciless Indian Savages" is a provocative show. He calls it an Indigenous exploration of what American democracy means for Indian Country. The show will be up through January.
