Sculpting an Indian Warrior Bust
Sculpting an Indian Warrior Bust
My grandfather was a full-blood Choctaw Indian
and my mother was a half-blood.. I am a tribal member of the Choctaw Nation,
with roll number 127942. My mother and grandfather were proud of their American
Indian heritage and passed that pride on to me. From them I learned to appreciate
the ways of our ancestors. The more I learned about the culture, the more
I appreciated it. American Indians have a strong sense of family and community,
as well as love and respect for nature and all its creatures. To me, these
are good values. Down through the years I made dolls: cloth dolls, carved
wood dolls, hand-sculpted dolls, all kinds of dolls. The strong pull on
me is Indian dolls. The American Indian is an important part of our country's
history . With my dolls, I try to portray a bit of that history. These realistic
dolls represent ordinary people engaged in daily activities of the time.
The dolls are handmade in the USA. A Certificate of Authenticity with a
serial number and the Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation accompanies each
doll. |
