This is original art by Lower Brule Lakota Mitchell Zephier. I purchased it at the annual Red Cloud Indian School Art Show on the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, in June 2023. It measures 4-1/4 inches long, weight is 1.0 oz, brass and sterling silver. OFFERS CONSIDERED.
Over the last five decades the Red Cloud Indian Art Show has celebrated the continuum of Native art - and honored the artists who created it.
Held on the Pine Ridge Reservation in western South Dakota, the Show is the largest and longest running Native art exhibition of its kind - and one of only a few held in an indigenous community. Hundreds of artists from tribal nations across North America have shared their work through the Red Cloud Show, in categories ranging from painting and photography to bead work and quill work.
What sets the show apart is its inclusion of all Native artists. Its purpose is to create opportunities for Native artists to explore their talents and share their perspectives, regardless of their previous exposure to the art world. Grounded in community and culture, the Red Cloud Indian Art Show allows the artists themselves to guide the narrative on Native art and indigenous experience.
