X-WR-CALDESC:Acts of Faith: Religion and the American West is a new exhibit
 ion that explores the interplay between religion and US expansion in the 1
 9th-century West in order to illuminate how religion became such a vital a
 nd contested part of American life. Acts of Faith takes visitors beyond th
 e mythologized “Wild West” of popular culture to present a fuller and surp
 rising picture: a West populated by preachers\, pilgrims\, and visionaries
  and home to sacred grounds and cathedrals that kindled spiritual feeling 
 from the woodlands of New York all the way to the valleys of California. T
 he narrative highlights the experiences and traditions of people who\, vol
 untarily or involuntarily\, took part in this chaotic and transformative e
 ra—including diverse Native peoples\, Protestant missionaries\, Mormon set
 tlers\, Catholic communities\, African American migrants\, Jewish traders\
 , and Chinese immigrant workers. \n\nAmong the highlights of the exhibitio
 n\, which comprises more than 60 objects and dozens of images and document
 s\, are Robert Weir’s portrait of the famous Seneca chief Sagoyewatha\, or
  “Red Jacket”\; a bulto (wooden statue) of San Ysidro Labrador from 19th-c
 entury New Mexico on loan from the Museum of International Folk Art in San
 ta Fe\; and an emigrant trunk labeled “From Basel to Salt Lake City\, Utah
 ” that belonged to a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day S
 aints on loan from the Utah Historical Society. \n\nThese are accompanied 
 by specially commissioned installations\, multimedia elements\, and immers
 ive displays\, including a dollhouse-sized diorama of St. Louis’ first Ros
 h Hashanah ceremony\; a large mural depicting a San Ysidro Feast Day in Ta
 os\, New Mexico\; an illustrated interactive journey to the California gol
 dfields with 49er Sarah Royce\; a lifesize\, lifelike figure of African Am
 erican pioneer Clara Brown\; and an evocation of a 19th-century classroom.
  Media elements include visualizations of the Mormon exodus to Utah and th
 e saga of Indian boarding schools as well as an audio guide on the Bloombe
 rg Connects app\, offering readings\, music\, and expert commentary from a
  range of historical and contemporary voices. Curated by Marci Reaven\, vi
 ce president for history exhibitions and Lily Wong\, associate curator.\n
