In 2022, Red Star collaborated with Standard University. Wendy Red Star: American Progress is about her experience as a Apsaalooke artist, addressing her lived experiences with belonging and unbelonging in the United States. Red Star engaged with Standford students affiliated with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity as well as the Institute for Diversity in the Arts by researching and gathering materials for the artworks. One of the artworks is entitled, Lady Columbia, and it is a “wallpaper print based on original paint-by-numbers”. The collaboration created a free public program that amplifies the artist’s voice and story. This is an example of efforts made by Red Star to create public art and space to get people across communities and generations to interact with indigenous stories.
