[8] Hill served as the Audain Senior Curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada but was let go, after a 22 year career, in 2022.
[9][10] Hill, who was the first Indigenous curator at the museum, used social media to share his thoughts, stating that, "“The truth is, I’m being fired because I don’t agree with and am deeply disturbed by the colonial and anti-Indigenous ways the Department of Indigenous Ways and Decolonization is being run.”[11][12] During Hill's tenure at the National Gallery, 1,300 works of art by Indigenous artists were acquired for the museum's collection.
Among the shows curated by Hill, are a 2016 exhibition Sahahàn (to light a fire), featuring the work of 75 Indigenous artists from countries throughout the world.
