  • Minisa Crumbo Halsey the Accomplished Artist Shares an Insight Into Her Father, Thomas Gilcrease and Her Native American Upbringing
    Minisa Crumbo Halsey The accomplished artist shares an insight into her father, Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Chapter 1 — 1:08 Introduction Announcer: Woody Crumbo was born near Lexington, Oklahoma, on January 31, 1912, as Woodrow Wilson Crumbo on his Potawatomi mother’s tribal allotment of land. Unfortunately, by the time he was seven he was an orphan, but his nomadic early life, living with different Indian families, including Creek and Sioux, and later becoming friends with a group of Kiowas with whom he studied art, instilled an appreciation for the diverse and disappearing cultures and traditions of the country’s tribes. With art, Woody Crumbo found a way to honor, promote, and preserve this history. While studying at Wichita University and later the University of Oklahoma, he supported himself as a dancer, learning different tribe’s dances from across the nation. And he was one of the first Native American artists to take on oil painting as a medium. His daughter Minisa, an accomplished artist in her own right, shares an insight into her father, his relationship with Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Thanks to the University of Tulsa, foundations and individuals who believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time…you can hear Minisa Crumbo Halsey on VoicesofOklahoma.com.

  • INDIANS at the POST OFFICE: New Deal Era Murals and Their Legacy of American Indian Representation Meghan A
    INDIANS AT THE POST OFFICE: New Deal Era Murals and Their Legacy of American Indian Representation Meghan A. Navarro Smithsonian National Postal Museum Scholarship Recipient Introduction The New Deal era of the 1930s through the early 40s was a dynamic period of growth and change for the United States. Beyond the work relief projects aimed at stemming the crippling effects of the Great Depression in communities across the nation, it was also a vibrant time of artistic innovation and expression. This article presents an overview of various themes presented by non-Native and Native artists in New Deal-era post office murals in terms of their depictions of American Indians. Inspired by Mexican muralists and driven by the circumstances of the Depression, the United States government sponsored four distinct programs that commissioned artists, directly and through anonymous competitions, to create murals and sculptures for federal buildings. Through research conducted with the support of the Smithsonian National Postal Museum Scholarshipi, I examined murals in post offices painted under the auspices of the Section of Fine Arts and featuring American Indian subjects. In this paper, I consider how the artistic trends and social conditions of this period contributed to the creation of a distinctly American art that portrayed American Indians in a variety of ways and reflected contemporaneous views of their place in historic and social society. As I observe, Indians were portrayed in post office murals as figures of myth and legend, symbols of a vanished past, obstacles to settlement and progress resolved through conflict and negotiation, and a romanticized, primitive ideal.

  • Transcending Boundaries: the Kiowa Six
    KIOWA SIX READING Kiowa Culture and Traditions In the early 1800s, the Kiowa were a nomadic tribe who lived primarily in the northern and central plains of what is now the United States. Tribal members had winter and summer camps that followed the migration of the bison, which was their main source of food, shelter, and leather goods. The economy revolved around hunting, trading, and breaking wild horses. The Kiowa also traded bison hides and horses for corn and agricultural products from neighboring tribes. Kiowa families were close-knit, large, and protective of one another. The Kiowa also had a rich artistic tradition. They had no written language, so their history and life were shared through storytelling and with pictures. Men painted calendars, scenes of war, heroic deeds, dances, religious ceremonies, and other important events on rocks, hides, shields, and clothing. Later, men painted in ledger books—account books given to the Kiowa by government officials or through trade with settlers. Women traditionally created art through beadwork, clothing, and pottery. Traditional art methods and designs were passed from generation to generation. Westward Expansion With a booming number of European American settlers traveling west in pursuit of land for themselves, clashes with Native American tribes like the Kiowa were inevitable. The Kiowa and other tribes spent years resisting settlers’ attempts to take their land. By the mid-1860s, the United States government prevailed in subduing Native uprisings, often by force. U.S. government officials signed treaties with the Kiowa and other tribes that moved the tribes onto permanent reservations. These reservations forced a new lifestyle of farming and ranching, yet the Kiowa still shared their wealth and shared ownership of these new lands.

  • Kiowa Six the Kiowa Six Is a Group of Six Kiowa Artists from Oklahoma in the 20Th Century
    Kiowa Six The Kiowa Six is a group of six Kiowa artists from Oklahoma in the 20th century. They were Spencer Asah, James Auchiah, Jack Hokeah, Stephen Mopope, Lois Smoky, and Monroe Tsatoke. Stephen Mopope, the oldest in the group, was born in 1898 on the Kiowa Reservation in Oklahoma Territo- ry. His relatives, including his great-uncles Silver Horn Oklahoma and Fort Marion ledger artist Ohettoint, recognized his artistic talent at an early age and taught him traditional Kiowa painting techniques Spotlight Jack Hokeah was born around 1900 and was or- phaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother. Later in life, San Ildefonso Pueblo potter Maria Marti- nez adopted him as a son and he lived with her family for a decade in New Mexico. Monroe Tsatoke was born in 1904 near Saddle Mountain, Okla- homa. His father, Tsatokee “Hunting Horse,” was his first artistic influ- ence. James Auchiah was born in 1906 near present-day Medicine Park, Oklahoma. One of his grandfather was Red Tipi, a ledger artist, medi- cine man, and bundle keeper the other was Satanta. Spencer Asah was born around 1905 in Carnegie, Oklahoma. His father, a buffalo medicine man, provided Asah with the traditional cul- tural background to inspire his art. Lois Smoky was born in 1907 near Anadarko; she was the youngest of the group and the only woman. Five of the artists attended the St. Patrick’s Mission School in Anadarko, serving Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache children. Operating from 1872 to 1996, the school — also known as the Anadarko Boarding School — was the longest lived of the seven schools for Native Ameri- can children in Oklahoma operated by St.

As Zach Galifianakis’ character says in The Hangover, “I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack.” But as the ultimate one-man wolf pack learned throughout the course of the film, surrounding yourself with quality friends is incredibly important to be successful; whether that success comes personally, professionally, or through another avenue, shared success is better than individual success. Now that I have stepped down from my soapbox, there are a number of people that I need to thank for their belief in me through the years.

Crafting an Indigenous Nation: Kiowa Expressive Culture in the Progressive Era. The University of North Carolina Press, 2019. Project MUSE. muse.jhu.edu/book/63566. https://muse.jhu.edu/. For additional information about this book https://muse.jhu.edu/book/63566 [ Access provided at 18 Mar 2021 21:37 GMT from University of Michigan @ Ann Arbor ] Introduction Figure 1, showing a truck rolling down the main street of Anadarko, Oklahoma, hints at what the American Indian Exposition parades looked like during the 1930s. The photo graph highlights dance, regalia, and Kiowa leadership in the event. Jasper Saunkeah, president of the American Indian Exposition, stands tall at the front of the truckbed. Saunkeah served as the president on and of during the 1930s and the 1940s.1 For the 1937 parade he donned a full war bonnet with tail feathers trailing down his back. When this photo graph was taken, “wearing war bonnets had complex meaning among the Kiowa”; for some, they were still associated with “war honors,” but for others, like Jasper Saunkeah, they were formal regalia donned for “special occasions.”2 The war bonnet, a ubiquitous piece of American Indian popu lar culture, signals his leadership of this intertribal fair and powwow. Two young women smile at his side, while a young fancy dancer looks toward the crowd and another young woman wearing a beaded dress and modest crown faces forward. Several other young fancy dancers are packed in the back of the flat- bed, and another man sits on the side of the truck.
