Bob Haozous: The Truth And Nothing, But The Truth
'Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View,' installation view at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. Heard Museum
Listen to Bob Haozous (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache; b. 1943) talk and you'd be forgiven for thinking his provocative, contrary opinions, fired off one after the other, indicates–now past 80, his artistic legacy secure–that he doesn't care anymore. Doesn't care what anyone thinks about him. Doesn't care what the art world or art market or peers think about him.
He cares.
Deeply.
Not about the art market or what people are or aren't saying about him, but the big things: racism, individualism, Westernization, colonization, capitalism, the planet.
He cares too much about those things to pull punches. To sugarcoat his perspective in order to make nice and be invited to galas.
The first line of Haozous' artist statement reads, 'I am not convinced that Indian bloodlines or tribal number can make someone Indian.'
Bob Haozous, unfiltered.
'Native people is not a genetic thing, it's people that care about the environment, as all people should; that's highly idealistic, but I'm an artist,' Haozous told Forbes.com. 'Chief Oren Lyons told me, 'the difference between a white man and a Native person is the white man believes in man's laws, and a Native person lives by nature's laws.''
Such was the case when Haozous tried collaborating with a Norwegian artist. The two reached an impasse.
'Can't we discuss certain issues because we're dealing with common sense,' Haozous remembers asking his counterpart. 'He said, 'Your common sense is different than my common sense.' It's such an American or Western answer, but if you go back to nature's laws and indigenous understanding, we all have the same basis, that is the laws of nature.'
The Norwegian artist's response recalls what has become a popular idea in America: alternative facts. The fallacious notion that truth is in the eye of the beholder. Haozous knows facts are facts and their basis comes from the laws of nature. He's not going to suffer fools who believe otherwise.
Doing so has resulted in his artwork being branded 'political.' Categorization he contests.
'Political, that's what America calls anybody who does something contrary,' Haozous said. '(My artwork's) not political at all.'
Haozous' artwork calling out racism, the U.S. federal government stealing Indian land, the abuses suffered by Native children as a result of the Indian boarding schools, or America's and capitalism's destruction of the planet are not politically motivated. He's not running for office or trying to influence polling on ballot measures. He's commenting on history, on lived experience, on nature's laws, on the truth. Not his truth, the truth.
Haozous' artwork isn't concerned with politics, it's concerned with humanity, with society, with the planet.
'My message has to go beyond the politics of whatever country or whatever people and go back to our responsibility to nature,' he said.
See for yourself during 'Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View,' on view through November 30, 2025, at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. The show marks his first major retrospective, proof he's been considered too hot to handle. The Heard's presentation shows off six decades of work in painting, sculpture, jewelry, and prints. The Great Allan Houser
Bob Haozous (Warm Springs Chiracahua Apache, b. 1943). 'Grandfather's Vision,' 1978. African Wonderstone, quartz 15 ¾ x 10 ½ x 6 in. Collection of Corinne Cain
Bob Haozous is the son of Allan Houser (Chiricahua Apache; 1914–1994). Houser is the most prominent Native American sculptor ever and one of the most prominent Native artists regardless of medium. A legend in American art, not just Native American art. If the average American has seen a sculpture by a Native person, odds are, it's an Allan Houser sculpture.
Haozous will take on the world, but not his father's legacy.
'It's never been an issue,' Haozous said of the shadow cast by his father, how every interview or story about his work, inevitably, at some point includes Houser. 'We worked in a studio side by side for six to eight years, 10 years, something like that; there was never any problem, ever.'
In addition to being a celebrated artist, Houser was a legendary arts teacher, most notably one of the original professors at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM.
'He worked with younger people. I was a younger person to him, and he realized that I had something to say, so he let me speak without interrupting,' Haozous said. 'Maybe once in a while he gave me technical advice, not much, because I had already been through college. I had my own experiences. He did what he did, and I did what I did, and he obviously knew that I respected him or we couldn't share the studio. I don't feel any of what you would assume would be a competition or challenge or restriction for him; he opened the door for me.'
What son learned from father surpassed atmospheric perspective or how best to model hands.
'The way he treated people, the way he loved all Native people and all tribes,' Haozous remembers about his father. 'We never talked about art. We didn't discuss art ever.'
The difference in their last names stems from a common mid-20th century practice among Native American families.
'I went to first grade and I came back and my parents told me, 'You're now a Houser,'' Haozous explained. '(My grandfather) took me aside privately and said, 'You'll always be a Haozous.' He guided me in a lot of ways.'
Pay particular attention to Grandfather's Vision (1978) in the Heard's exhibition. Myths Of Native America
Bob Haozous (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache, b. 1943), 'Sleeping Warrior,' 1975. Colorado pink alabaster 5.5 x 13.5 x 6. Gift of Dr. Edwin L. Wade and Carol Haralson, 4721-1. Heard Museum
Despite the weight of Haozous' subject matter, the artist routinely uses humor, satire, and irony to express his feelings.
'Humor is a wonderful tool. I grew up with Indian humor. I've been criticized for it because it can be harsh,' he said. 'I've given a lot of thought to what's the purpose of humor. In America, it's on a superficial, yuk, yuk, level, where it makes you laugh, but in an indigenous world, it can be very serious. I use (humor) as a tool to stimulate people to think; if they're laughing, they're thinking, that's the way I look at it.'
White people mythologizing Native Americans as stoic–the 'stoic Indian,' strong and silent–has done Native people a great disservice. Colonization loves the silent Indian, not the activist Indian. Taking away Native peoples' humor dehumanizes them, takes their personality away, makes them easier to abuse.
'They did a film with my father, and after (the producers) were gone, they said, 'What did we miss?' I said you missed his humor,' Haozous remembers. 'They looked at me like, 'What do you mean?' They didn't understand the depth of humor or the depth of Allan Hauser. He and the family were always joking and laughing.'
Haozous calls out other myths put on Native people.
'(The white man) told us, this is our land. You could fight for it. You're great warriors. They eliminated the fact we were great family people, and we were great cooks, and we were great traders, and all kind of stuff that makes humanity what it is,' he said. 'They focused us on war because they knew they could use us in war, and we did it, and now it's a very honorable thing to say I have this medal or I went to some place, but at the same time, we come back with terms like 'sand ( racial slur deleted ),' and 'slope,' and 'zipper head,' and stuff like that; our men are saying those things. Why is that? Because we've never had a chance to get a decent education that comes from our culture.'
Haozous served four years in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He's among the numerous highly respected Native artists to have done so including T.C. Cannon, Doug Hyde, and Michael Naranjo.
American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in the Armed Forces at five times the national average.
'A lot of things I'm saying now are finally taking root in other people. Everybody should have been talking about this from the beginning, what the boarding schools did to the education system of indigenous people, but we didn't,' Haozous said. 'We're finally standing up, but we're only standing up because we got a token now, sovereignty and the ability to open casinos. What's that have to do with the environment? What's that have to do with our own people? Now we've become slaves to money. That's why (Native artists) want so much to go to the National Gallery (of Art) or the Smithsonian, they want the prestige because it means money for the individual.'
Haozous is perfectly willing to criticize Native people along with whites.
'One of the things (Native artists) did that was disturbing to me, they were focusing on the individual rather than the people, and that individualism is contrary to tribalism,' he said. 'You get money, you get awards, you get ribbons, you get prestige, you get grants, even honorary doctorates. What's that have to do with your people? It just feels good. It looks good. It's supposed to be an honor, but is it really an honor, or is it just a token?'
How does Haozous' artwork help his people? How does it help the planet?
He offers this analogy.
'If there is a bus full of people, like the world, the Native people have been put into the back deck of the bus, and we're riding in it and getting a free ride too, but we should be driving the bus, and that's the thing that we've had taken from us, this responsibility to nature,' he explained. 'The only way to drive the bus is by getting the rest of the passengers to understand what we're trying to and where we're going and that's what art can do.'
Bob Haozous' artwork can also be seen at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe through January 10, 2026, during the exhibition, 'Memo to the Mother: Bob Haozous' Messages to Mother Earth.'
A deeper immersion into the life and work of Houser and Haozous can further be experienced walking among the sculptures and juniper at the Allan Houser Studio & Sculpture Garden at Haozous Place. Private visits to the sun baked property 20 miles south of the Santa Fe Plaza just off Highway 14–the Turquoise Trail–can be arranged online.

Get a Free Marvel Rivals Future Foundation Skin and Hawkeye Skin in Season 2.5
Marvel Rivals season 2.5 is moving the Hellfire Gala afterparty to space -- our heroes are heading to the sentient planet Arakko to prevent Ultron's planet-exterminating plans from coming to fruition. Stopping a robot army is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including a new seasonal pass that unlocks a free Mister Fantastic skin. This Combat Chest event is the debut of a secondary battle pass system in Marvel Rivals, and it's a fairly standard experience-based reward. Free-to-play gamers will be able to unlock sprays, emotes and other odds and ends but the big ticket item is the Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin. Outside of the latest event, there are still other ways to earn free skins right now. Whether you're getting used to the new suite of team-up abilities or you're getting in more playtime on the latest addition to the Strategist roster by beaming down enemies with Ultron, season 2.5 has introduced a slate of free skins that you can use to deck out your favorite characters. Here's what you should know about the Combat Chest, the Cerebro Database Part 2 event and the rest of the free skin lineup at the beginning of Marvel Rivals season 2.5. The Combat Chest is a new type of battle pass -- it's a more traditional experience-based progression system. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET Get the Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin during the first ever Combat Chest event A new type of experience-based battle pass launched at the beginning of season 2.5. The Combat Chest is a smaller, half-season battle pass that rewards consistent playtime over challenge completion. The free track contains one costume, while the premium Combat Chest (which costs 690 Lattice, or roughly $7) has two additional costume rewards. It contains 24 reward tiers and each reward tier requires 1,800 experience points to unlock. Players can earn a maximum of 7,200 experience points every day so it's theoretically possible to earn every Combat Chest reward in six days. The free Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin is on tier 18 of the Combat Chest so it will take the most enterprising players four days to unlock the new addition to the body-bending hero's wardrobe. Premium skin rewards include Storm Ultimate Wind-Rider on tier 6 and Magneto Binary Sword on tier 24 of the Combat Chest. The first version of this shortened alternate battle pass will disappear July 11 at the end of season 2 but any players who purchase the premium version can continue unlocking any remaining tiers after that date. If you want to complete the Future Foundation skin collection, you'll have to hold your horses -- and get ready to shell out some cash. The Invisible Woman Future Foundation and Thing Future Foundation skins are included in an in-store bundle that will be released on June 13, and while we don't yet know how much they'll cost, you can expect to spend several thousand units on them. A Spider-Man Future Foundation skin is likely to appear sooner than later, but has not yet been officially revealed. Hawkeye is infected by Ultron's biomechanical virus in the new Binary Arrow skin. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET Get the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin free in the Cerebro Database Part 2 event The Cerebro Database event is live now. It began with the launch of the season 2.5 patch on May 30 and ends on June 27. While this event is fairly easy, the presentation might confuse some players. As with any Marvel Rivals event, you'll need to complete challenges to earn rewards. In this event, though, each featured character (Iron Man, Black Widow, Magneto and Ultron) has nine unique challenges arranged in a 3x3 board. The new Cerebro Database event plays out just like the previous one -- including the annoying time-gated challenges. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET You don't need to complete all 36 challenges to receive all of the event rewards. Instead, you need to complete enough challenges to make three separate horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines on all four boards to finish the event. Basically, you're playing tic-tac-toe to quickly make three lines on all of the boards to earn your rewards as efficiently as possible. Like most Marvel Rivals events, several characters' boards are time-gated, which means that the most enterprising players have only been able to unlock the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin starting on June 11. If you aren't gunning to complete all four sets of challenges, you can still earn Chrono Tokens, units, sprays and gallery pages. How can I get free skins during Marvel Rivals season 2.5? Players who link their Twitch account to their Marvel Rivals account right now can nab a free Emma Frost skin. But if you only care about rewards you can earn in-game, a different Emma Frost skin and an Ultron skin are available by progressing through the competitive ladder and new Iron Fist and Magik looks are available free on the season 2 battle pass. The immortal Iron Fist goes toe-to-toe with Doctor Strange in his new free battle pass skin. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET What Marvel Rivals skins are available free right now? There are currently 11 free skins available. Here's how you get them: Hawkeye Binary Arrow: Complete the Cerebro Database Part 2 event challenges on all four characters by June 27 to unlock this skin.

You can also earn skins through regularly playing the game, as a free skin is frequently awarded with the completion of seasonal events.

Disney Bringing Back Classic Series After Nearly 20 Years
Disney's unique catalogue of films and shows have become nostalgic for numerous generations. As such, it's no surprise that the studio tends to rejuvenate their countless IPs every so often. Now, after nearly 20 years, it looks like Disney is bringing back a classic series for a new premiere on the Disney Channel. With physical releases and streaming services including Disney's own Disney Plus, it's nice to know that the company still makes an event out of their Disney Channel television network. And, for this particular series which one aired regularly on the channel, it's nice to see it make a comeback. Of course, there's a perfectly good reason this series is being brought back after so long. Specifically, it's to tie in with a new release that's doing quite well in theaters at this moment in time. Disney definitely knows what they're doing in that regard. The aforementioned theatrical film is none other than Lilo & Stitch , with the Disney Channel series being Lilo & Stitch: The Series , the original animated show that follows the events of the first Lilo & Stitch movie. Now that the live-action adaptation has become a hit in theaters, the Disney Channel is once again airing Lilo & Stitch: The Series for the first time in nearly 20 years, a brilliant marketing move as Lilo & Stitch merch continues to fly off the shelves. As you can see in the schedule shared below via Instagram featuring the classic Disney Channel series and various other shows coming to the network: Lilo & Stitch is currently playing in theaters. In addition, fans will now be able to spend the summer enjoying Lilo & Stitch : The Series on the Disney Channel, where it will begin airing on June 26. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Lilo & Stitch news and any additional Disney updates as we have them. It's great to see this franchise once again having its moment in the spotlight, especially after having quite the hiatus in North America the last two decades.

‘This was peak technology': Gen Z is bringing back the BlackBerry
It's 2009. Everyone is rocking ankle socks. 'TikTok,' is just a Ke$ha song. You pull out your BlackBerry Bold 9700 and update your BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) status. All is well. Before the iPhone, the BlackBerry was the 'it' phone. At its peak in the early 2000s, BlackBerry commanded over 50% of the U.S. and 20% of the global smartphone market. But times changed. Physical keyboards gave way to touchscreens, and eventually, BlackBerry discontinued support for its classic phones in 2022. But this isn't where the story ends. The 2000s have since made a comeback. As The New York Times recently reported, 'Everything Millennial Is Cool Again.' Adding to that list, I'm happy to report, is the humble BlackBerry. 'Getting a blackberry bold just because,' one TikTok user posted, holding up a BlackBerry Bold they purchased on eBay for $40. 'This is a sentence I never thought I would say, especially not in 2025,' another wrote, unboxing a second-hand BlackBerry Bold 9900. 'I got a Blackberry.' @ What's your pin? 🥲 #blackberryphone ♬ original sound – She goes on to explain: 'My first phone was an iPhone in 6th grade so I never got the chance to get a Blackberry like I always wanted. This has always been a dream of mine.' The hashtag #blackberry on TikTok now has over 125K posts, with users sharing their retro finds and long-forgotten phones pulled from drawers—including models like the BlackBerry Classic Q20 and a lilac BlackBerry Curve. @ 🔮🫧 lillac blackberry curve from 2009. This phone it's older than many of you on this app ! #y2kaesthetic #blackberryphone ♬ admire the perc – ! Just in time for Digital Detox Summer, Gen Z is putting down their iPhones and bringing back flip phones and trackpads. 'POV: you bought a blackberry in 2025 bc your iPhone is ruining your life,' one post with 6.4 million views reads. 'This was PEAK technology,' a commenter wrote. 'BlackBerry has the opportunity to make an amazing comeback,' another added. @shozi_055 My phone addiction is getting way too out of hand, I'm trying to take my life back #fypviralシ ♬ original sound – NOLSTALGIC SOUNDS A recent Reddit post hinted that might just be in the cards. Reddit user u/coldheartedsigma shared a since-deleted post to the r/BlackBerry subreddit but kept most of the details vague, citing an NDA. While some were skeptical, others couldn't contain their excitement. 'Please be real,' one wrote. 'Color me interested if this ever actually materializes,' another added. Whether or not the rumors pan out, Gen Z is bringing back the BlackBerry either way—even if it's just to take a break from scrolling TikTok to play BrickBreaker.
