Copper Plate Etching “Winter on the Reservation” by Woody Crumbo - C3720J
Woody Crumbo was born in Oklahoma and spent a large part of his life there, but spent his later year in Taos, New Mexico, and was living in Cimarron, New Mexico, when he died on April 4, 1989. He dedicated his life to portraying the life and culture of Native Americans in the hope of presenting them as they existed at that time because change was inevitable. He was born of the Potawatomi Tribe, was orphaned at age 7, and then lived with a Creek Indian family. He learned the customs of the Creek, studied those of the Kiowa and then was adopted by a Sioux family. His early schooling, like that of many Native American Indians, was at a U.S. Government Indian School.
