Numbe Whageh (Our Center Place) is a sculptural earthwork by Nora Naranjo Morse that integrates native High Desert vegetation with constructed elements to create a contemplative gathering space. The installation features strategically placed stone markers, a white timber arbor, an interpretive plaque, and carefully cultivated native plants including chamisa and fourwing saltbush that anchor the composition within the arid landscape. Completed in 2005, the work reflects Indigenous perspectives on place and belonging by transforming an ordinary institutional site into a ceremonial center that honors both land and community. The interplay between human construction and natural growth invites visitors to consider relationships between culture, ecology, and collective identity in the American Southwest. Morse's practice of using earth, plant materials, and traditional knowledge positions this artwork within contemporary Indigenous and environmental art movements.
