"Bear Hunt" by Making Medicine: "Bear Hunt" is one of a series of drawings made
by Cheyenne Indian Making Medicine during captivity at Fort Marion, St.
Augustine, Fla., in the late 1870's. After his Baptism, he took the
name David Pendelton Oakerhater and served as a deacon and Episcopal
missionary in his home territory of Oklahoma. An exhibit of his work,
called "Making Medicine: Ledger Drawing Art from Fort Marion", was shown
at the Center of the American Indian in Oklahoma City from Sept. 16-Nov.
26. This was the first time that the drawings had been viewed outside
the Smithsonian Institution, to which they belong. The exhibit was made
possible by grants from the Diocese of Oklahoma, the Episcopal National
Committee on Indian Work, the Oklahoma Foundation for the Humanities,
the Kerr Foundation and Fleming Companies, Inc.
