Exhibit files, correspondence, publications, photographs, video, cassette tapes, etc. Of particular importance are the papers relating to the group's exhibits at the Venice Biennale ("Ceremonial" in 1999, "Umbilicus" in 2001, and "Pellerossasogna -- The Shirt" in 2003).

The Native American Arts Alliance (NA3) was formed in 1997 in Santa Fe, New Mexico to address the growing distance between contemporary native arts production and its relevance to native communities. Their first appearance at the Venice Biennale was for an exhibition titled "Ceremonial," and featured seven artists. The organization was notable for claiming tribal sovereignty by sponsoring its own appearance rather than appearing with the American Pavilion. In 2001, the board changed the name to the Indigenous Arts Action Alliance (IA3) in order to better reflect broader global concerns.
