Margaret Roach Wheeler: A Retrospective

On display until Dec. 13th

The Oklahoma Center for the Humanities is thrilled to present A Retrospective, a native fashion exhibit designed and hand-crafted by Chickasaw-Choctaw weaver, Margaret Roach Wheeler.

Wheeler honors the spirit of her great-great-grandmother, Mahota, and a legacy of creative Chickasaw women. Margaret has become known internationally as a painter, sculptor, educator, Native historian and award-winning weaver. From her earliest business in handwoven fashions to creative textiles to the field of fine arts, Margaret’s art and work continue today in selling original handwovens and in the national brand of Mahota Textiles, both collaborations with the Chickasaw Nation. It is this legacy of Mahota, Nancy Mahota, grandmother Juel and mother Rubey – centuries of tradition and craftsmanship handed down through generations of Indigenous makers. Through her detailed historical research and creative innovation, Margaret connects the inspiration of our ancestors to all of us in a modern world.
