History
The Gorman Museum of Native American Art was founded in 1973 by the Department of Native American Studies at UC Davis. The name of the museum is in honor of Carl Nelson Gorman, the Navajo code talker, artist, and a former faculty member at UC Davis.[1][2]

As of 2015, the museum holds a collect of 860 objects by 250 artists.[3] By 2018, the museum collection had grown to over 2,000 works, with one third of the collection coming directly from artist donations.[4] Artists in the museum collection include Frank LaPena, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Melanie Yazzie, Rick Bartow, Benjamin Haldane, James Schoppert, Dana Claxton, Frank Tuttle, Garnet Pavatea, and many others.
