For the first time ever, a Native American artist is having a retrospective and important art exhibited by New York’s famed Whitney Museum until Aug. 13, 2023. At 83-years young, artist, art educator, and activist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith said she is proud to “break the buckskin ceiling” and is showcasing a powerful collection comprised of five decades of her work, totaling 130 pieces of art, sensibly titled, “Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map.”

#cheifdavidbaldeagle #died earlier at the #young #age of 97. He was and is a #greatman. The #grandson of Chief White Bull, who fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, Bald Eagle appeared in more than 40 films. He went on to become the face of #SouthDakota's #Lakota people. He died at his home on the #CheyenneRiver #IndianReservation on 22 July, according to a local funeral home. Born in a #tepee in 1919 on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation, his native Lakota name translates as Wounded in Winter Beautiful Bald Eagle. He served in the #USArmy during #WorldWarTwo where he fought in the landings at Anzio in Italy and won the #silverstar. #neverforget #nativeamerican #littlebighorn #remeberthefallen #hero #peace @cupycakesweetshop
