FRONT COVER: Episutspi, Fancy Dancer. Tempera. 1970. EXCERPT: He had always wanted to be an artist, ever since he could first remember. Perhaps it was because of his uncle, Two Gun, a self taught artist who frequently visited them, or maybe he was influenced by his older brother Harvey, who was always drawing pictures. Perhaps, too, he had inherited some of the artistic sensitivity of ancestors who had created beautiful designs on clothing, shields, tepees and utensils.
