Native+American+Artist

[|Leonard Peltier] Cheyenne


 * The native american artist I chose is Leonard Peltier. Leonard has done hundreds of paintings and written a book. He is still doing his artwork today.**
 * I think what makes his work native is he puts plants, animals, and people dressed in their traditional outfits in his paintings.**
 * I think native american art is singing, dancing, beading, painting, carving, pottery, basket weaving and so on.**
 * What I think it means to be a native american artist is to take pride in being able to still do the crafts and arts that our ancestors did in the past.**
