Art", an exhibit hosted by the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, Massachusetts. S’igeika’awu: Ghost In 2009, S’igeika’awu: Ghost was displayed in a new wing of the Anchorage Museum. This work was described as "resembling both a Native mask and a piece of Delftware." The fusion of this work reminds viewers of the period when ceremonial Native masks were considered worthless, but fine porcelain was a valuable commodity. Things are Looking Native, Native’s Looking Whiter Things are Looking Native, Native’s Looking Whiter was the centerpiece of "Unsettled", an exhibit hosted by the Nevada Museum of Art. It is a photographic giclée montage print that bisects and combines two photographs. On the left is a 1906 Edward S. Curtis image entitled "Tewa Girl", a photograph of an unnamed Hopi-Tewa girl with a traditional "squash blossom" hairstyle.

Although Galanin was uncertain if the Star Wars character's likeness to the Hopi-Tewa woman was deliberate or unintentional, he felt that "the influence was implied". This particular hairstyle was also popular in Medieval Europe, centuries prior to the "discovery " of the Americas. "I challenge those who view or listen to my work to
