Shared Visions exhibits the works of major artists of the twentieth century Native American Fine Art Movement. Emphasis is placed upon artists who helped to shape the movement and whose work influenced the direction of American Indian Painting and sculpture. Individual works were selected to represent the depth and diversity of Native American arts and artists. Art works range from the early narrative paintings of Carl Sweezy (Arapaho, 1881-1953) and Ernest Spybuck (Shawnee, 1883-1949), to a series of works on the topic of “encounter and response executed in 1990 for this exhibition. Shared Visions , therefore, reflects the changing world of the American Indian artist as that world unfolded throughout the twentieth century. -- from “The Shared Visions: Native American Painters and Sculptors in the Twentieth Century 3 Way People were meant to live: The Shared Visions of Twentieth Century Native American Painters and Sculptors,” Dr. Rennard Strickland and Margaret Archuleta, in the catalogue to the exhibition, p 5.

    HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INDIANS, 1868-1892 By VIRGINIA RUTH ALLEN ll Bachelor of Science Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1952 Master of Teaching Central State University Edmond, Oklahoma 1968 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 1973 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY FEB I;; 1974 HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INDIANS, 1868-1892 Thesis Approved: Dea/] ~ ~Iege 87321~ ii PREFACE During the years from 1868 to 1892, the Southern Plains Indians were defeated in war, their population decreased by battle and disease, and their economic system destroyed. They were relocated on reservations where they were subjected to cultural shock by their white conquerors. They endured hunger, disease, and despair. Many studies have been made of the warfare and the ultimate defeat of the Indians. None have explored the vital topic of the health of these people. No other factor is so vital to the success or failure of human endeavor. This study focuses on the government medical care provided the Plains Indians on the Cheyenne-Arapahoe and Kiowa­ Comanche reservations. It also expl6res the cultural con­ flict between the white man's medicine and the native medicine men, and what effect that conflict and other contacts with white men had on Indian health. I wish to acknowledge the generous and kind assis­ tance I received from numerous people during the research and writing of this dissertation. First, I would like to thank Doctor Homer L.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE COLUMBIAN QUINCENTENARY* RENNARD STRICKLAND** The title Strangers in a Strange Land comes from a letter which John Rollin Ridge, the first Native American to practice law in California, wrote from the gold fields back to his Uncle Stand Wa- tie in the Indian Territory. "I was a stranger in a strange land," he began. "I knew no one, and looking at the multitude that thronged the streets, and passed each other without a friendly sign, or look of recognition even, I began to think I was in a new world, where all were strangers and none cared to know."' The last five hundred years-the Columbian Quincentenary-is captured for the Native American in the phrase-"a new world, where all were strangers," with Native Americans as the "stran- gers in a strange land [which] none cared to know." I believe from my historical studies that the so-called "Columbian Ex- change" symbolizes the triumph of technology over axe- ology-the ascendancy of industry over humanity.

  • An Exhibition of Native Painting Fills a Stubborn Gap in the History of Moderrnism by CHRISTOPHER GREEN
    REVIEWS JANUARY 10, 2020 An Exhibition of Native Painting Fills a Stubborn Gap in the History of Moderrnism BY CHRISTOPHER GREEN Mario Martinez, Brooklyn, 2004 Dick West’s Spatial Whorl (1949–50), a small oil on canvas with a swirl of earthy browns and yellows punctuat- ed by hot pinks, sky blues, and sharp red spines, is the first painting visitors see at “Stretching the Canvas: Eight Decades of Native Painting,” a new long-term exhibition at the New York branch of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, featuring works from the institution’s collection. “What is American Indian about this graceful abstraction?” a label asks. The question is a trap for the essentialist viewer who would give any answer other than, “It was painted by an American Indian artist.” One could say that the elongated orange- and-red arrows seem to evoke quillwork, or that the central yellow disc suggests the Sun Dance ceremony that West depicted in other paintings—but only by cherry-picking details from the many fluid elements of the com- position. “Stretching the Canvas” does not aim to offer a comprehensive survey or conclusive definition of American Indian painting. Rather, it advocates for the many ways that Native artists have maneuvered around systems of art’s production and reception that would deny them a “right to individualism,” as the Yanktonai Dakota artist Oscar Howe wrote in a 1958 letter protesting the rejection of his work from a competition for not being “Indian” enough. The thirty-nine paintings by thirty artists at NMAI prove too multifarious for any single idea of a “Na- tive style.” Instead this celebration of the museum’s painting collection demonstrates how a history of heteroge- neity counters essentialist rhetoric.

This was the most elegant and meticulous publication on American Indian art ever offered for sale. Its publication came at a time when American Indian art of the West and Southwest was prominent in the public imagination. Of particular interest to the art world in that decade were the new watercolors being made by Kiowa and Pueblo artists; a place was being made for their display within the realm of the American “fine arts” traditions in museums and art galleries all over the country.

  • THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index
    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.
