"I can't say I'm glad to have had to live through all that [acculturation] to be where I am today. [White] People know Indians as people who have lost their culture in most cases. Some walk around like urban drunks, dyeing their hair yellow to get away from their background. In my work, I'm saying ‘Ha. I'm making it. . . in my work, I'm offering people a party they're never going to forget."

Jeannie Lusk. "Artist Draws from Two Cultures." (Bienvenidos, 1980).
