A Seeing America video

I love the images of decorators at work - especially the one around 2:18. She looks so immersed in her work. It just gave me a sense of devotion I'd like to bring to today's job search. I go on appreciating the Native American emphasis on tradition, culture, and family. Their art is consistently beautiful and crafty - you can tell it's deeply meaningful beyond its obvious uses.

I absolutely love your videos! Please do more on Indigenous arts.

Beautiful, compelling. What a great artist was Nanpeyo !
Someone to say which are the most important artists of today, among the native Americans ?

More please! Can you guys do an interactive museum breakdown. For example, you click to direct your movement. This gives you access to specific selections of videos, breaking down what we currently know or don't know on the thing being shown. Do this for a museum walk through.
