by on Sep.15, 2009, under JOURNAL: Nature, art, cultural perspectives

The Smithsonian’s National Anthropological Archives have put out this fascinating interactive web exhibit about the Lakota people and their traditional calendar.  Click on the screenshot below to go directly to the exhibit.

About Me

I am a freelance artist living in Arkansas, US, specializing in historical portraits of American Indians. I blog about the portrayal and influence of Native Americans in art, history, and the media. I am fascinated by history and world cultures and particularly indigenous peoples. My other interests include wildlife ecology, environmental issues & sustainability, journalism, web design & development. I enjoy music, photography, and reading (see my book list) here.
