About the Author

Ann Nolan Clark (b.1898), winner of the 1953 Newberry Award, spent her life as a writer and as an educator for the Indians of the Southwest and the Hispanics of Latin America. In the arly 1920's, she began teaching Indian children. Her time teaching preschool through fourth grade in a one-room schoolhouse in the Tesuque Pueblo influenced her decision to work on instructional materials. Between 1940 and 1951, the Bureau of Indian Affairs published fifteen of her books.

Sioux painter Oscar Howe (1915-1983) is among the most prominent artists emerging from Dorothy Dunn's Studio of Indian Art in the 1930's. He was an international exhibitor while still in high school, and has many prizes and honors to his credit. An artist-in residente and graduate of two universities, he has also taught art at the university level. Both his traditional and his innovative abstract works are represented nationwide in musuems and private collections.
