But Bernard is confident that with a proper restructuring, the Gold Eagle will soar again.

Native art should be allowed to develop along more ways than those established by traditions, says a Comanche writer.

Paul Chaat Smith was a participant in a cross-border forum on Native art and Culture, held in Thunder Bay April 23 and 24. In an interview he discussed the different paths Native art is evolving and how important it is to allow that progression to happen.
