2010 Featured Lecture Sponsored
by Friends of Ethnic Art
10am, Sunday,February14, 2010
Dr. Candace Greene, an anthropologist with the Smithsonian's National Museum of
Natural History will give a lecture exploring a pictorial calendar, or“winter count”, a
rare chronicle of Kiowa history, drawn by the gifted artist Silver Horn, or Haungooah.
Dr. Greene will
explain how she deciphered the meaning of this history, recorded only
in pictures, which traces one hundred
years of Kiowa history from 1828-1928. These
tiny pictures provide a native perspective on events ranging
from horse raids in
Mexico to service in World War I, tracing Kiowa life from buffalo hunts to car wrecks.
Greene is the author One Hundred Summers: A Kiowa Calendar Record (2009); The Year
the Stars Fell:
Lakota Winter Counts at the Smithsonian (2007); and Silver Horn: Master
Illustrator of the Kiowa (2001).
