Nakota (Yanktonai Sioux)

"One criterion for my painting is to present the cultural life and activities of the Sioux Indians; dance, ceremonies, legends, lore, arts . . . It is my greatest hope that my paintings may serve to bring the best things of Indian culture into the modern way of life."

Contemporary Sioux Painting, (Rapid City, South Dakota: Indian Arts and Crafts Board of the United States Department of the Interior, 1970).
