Initiated in 1996, Eagle Village reveals the cultural and political forces that re/shaped this site over time and generates a spatial archive of place following over 25 years of observation, outreach, research, and contemplation. At its core, this project is an engagement with the material traces of some of the key narratives of American society; more than clarifying what unfolded on this parcel of land, Eagle Village presents its contradictions and paradoxes.
