 Dick
Howard was hooked on Indian art in 1954 when he made his first
purchase: a $2.60 San Juan Pueblo pot bought from Charles Eagleplume
near Estes Park, Colorado. Two weeks later, he went back and bought a
second piece, and the next month he sold his stamp collection for $22
to finance a trip to Santa Fe.

inhabitants were scores of Indians, including a group of Hopis interned
in 1895.

Native Scientists Taking Off
|
|
Native Americans are renowned as great artists. Their history as proud and courageous warriors is well known. And they are with equal measures of romanticism and reality revered as mystics exploring the edges of human consciousness and being. But today, laboring in obscurity, they are also electrical, aeronautical, software and materials engineers, research biologists, oil geologists, hydrologists, doctors of medicine, inventors and even astronauts.

Dan Namingha
|
|
 Artist Dan Namingha is fascinated by passages and passageways, both literal and figurative. Much of his work deals with physical and metaphysical passages and the transitory states between everyday reality and the spirit realm. To Namingha, life is composed of dualities: night and day, darkness and light, the divine and the human, life and death, outside and inside, the underworld and the upper world, positive and negative. These dualities are not inherently good or evil; they simply exist as counterbalances to one another.

 ON THE COVER
Dan Namingha: Visual Poet Builds Artistic Bridges
"I see myself as a bridge between worlds, trying to find that center
line of balance." Armed with paintbrush, welder or electric guitar,
Hopi/Tewa artist Dan Namingha thrives in the realms of dualities and
passages—night and day, darkness and light, the divine and the human,
life and death, positive and negative.

Art from Earth: Four Master Potters
|
|
 Through 3,000 years of artistic development, American Indian pottery has grown from a utilitarian craft into a fine art admired around the world. Major institutions from the Heard Museum in Phoenix to the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., have amassed valuable collections of both old and new pottery. It can be argued that perhaps the finest American Indian pottery ever is being created in our present era, by potters displaying a mastery of both traditional and contemporary techniques, materials and designs.

future. Her likeness appears on the new $1 U.S. coin released last
