"[S]ignificant contribution to art history"

"Shifting Grounds is elegantly designed and beautifully illustrated...fascinating study."—H-Net

"[S]ignificant interdisciplinary strides...toward uniting the fields of art history and Indigenous studies."—Native American and Indigenous Studies Journal

"Landscape in the work of Native artists is sophisticated, conceptually complex yet visually compelling and at times even seductive. Morris illuminates the many layers of meaning in their work through this insightful and intriguing exploration."—Kathleen Ash-Milby (Diné), National Museum of the American Indian

"Shifting Grounds releases the colonial capture of Indigenous land in the Americas from a central ideological tenet in the field of art history, the genre of landscape art. Launching from ground zero canonical works by W. J. T. Mitchell and Rosalind Krauss, Kate Morris remaps land in the Americas from an Indigenous visual, epistemological, and political perspective."—Jolene Rickard, (Tuscarora), professor of art history and director of the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program, Cornell University
