Lois Smokey
Last friday I was honored with the "Lois Smokey Award." She was one of the original Kiowa Five who studied at OU in the 1920's credited with the starting of traditional Indian art movement in Oklahoma. She was forced out because she was a woman and replaced.

Regis and Kelli!
Hey I guess I'm a show biz mom. I got a call from the Regis and Kelli Show people in New York. They want to talk to me about my boy. I answered a request for "Whiz Kids" by sending a photo of Lisan sculpting. They called today and I was so excited I hung up on them. (actually it was a message from them.) I'll call them tomorrow when I'm not so worked up!

Gifted Young People
I started Legacy Cultural Learning Community, a youth arts non profit, to make our Native culture a daily part of our lives through programs taught by tribal members. This week, wow!, what talent we have in our Muscogee 'Creek' and Cherokee Nations. A junior at Sequoyah, on the softball team, makes good grades AND is a TALENTED artist...Roxannne Harmon. Roxy came to Tiger Gallery and made her own ball sticks and ball in the traditional Cherokee manner (no easy work!) for the game known as Stickball. We entered them in the Five Tribes Museum's Student Art Show where on March 1st at 2 o'clock we will see if she takes home a prize. This is Roxy's 2nd art competition entry. Her first was a pencil drawing of her fathers set of sticks in the Cherokee Nation JOM Art Competition. Winners will be announced next week. Let's all wish her luck. Actually, luck has nothing to do with it, Roxy is a winner due to her strong spirit and courage to step up and create great art!
Other Legacy artists who entered the competition include my son, Lisan, with three hand done sculptures. Christie Tiger entered a piece called 'Cultivating the Rosebuds', depicting the students of the Cherokee Female Seminary established in 1851 to educate the girls and women of the tribe and Collen Vann, a 7th grader, submitted two woven Cherokee baskets that he made himself.
These inspirational young people attend Sequoyah School in Tahlequah.

In time for the holiday...
Christie Tiger's award winning art "Valentine's Day Stomp Dance". Christie is my first born, 15 years ago. She draws so much she gets in trouble for it.
