Relatively unknown to those who champion
Houser’s art, and exhibited here for the first time, are one hundred drawings by the artist that show, as Professor W. Jackson Rushing III and guest curator of the exhibition describes it, “Houser visually thinking out loud.” The exhibit unveils a side of the artist little known and features, among other subjects, warriors and hunters, women and their work and abstract Apache designs. >http://www.ou.edu/fjjma 405-325-1660>>For other celebrations of the centennial of Houser’s birth: http://www.okhouser.org

SEEKING BALANCE>by heather ahtone>
Native American ceramics conjures images of Puebloan pottery, maybe women walking in a plaza with large ollas
precariously balanced on their heads. But for Anita Fields, those stereotypes had nothing to do with her culture, her traditions, nor her vision for the future. Her interest in ceramics was driven by curiosity about the clay’s natural pliability and personality, and an inherent symbolism for attachment to place. Fields has a vision for using clay to connect to her tribal traditions while stepping into a future where there are no limits for defining American Indian art. >
Anita Fields (b. 1951; Osage/Muscogee (Creek) began her formal art training at the Institute of American Indian Arts and
completed her studies at Oklahoma State University. However, a formal education in ceramics does not match the informal education in Osage philosophy and ethos that continues to be an integral component of Fields conceptual basis. The knowledge shared in a ceremony or as a regular participant cannot be quantified like a degree. The evidence of this knowledge rests in the art directly. Interestingly, there are few examples of Osage ceramics. Not having a tribal tradition to uphold in regards the medium actually gives Fields liberty in pursuing the craft.>
In Oklahoma the ceramics and pottery traditions are most often associated with the Southeastern tribes, Cherokee, Chickasaw,
Caddo. The Osage people are part of the Plains tribal community, descendants of ancient Cahokia and linguistic relatives of the other Siouxan tribes. Traditions are more likely textile ribbonwork, carving, and there are many painters and writers from the community. Fields is adept working in her tribe’s ribbonwork traditions and is known to be a good cook, one of several appointed cooks for the Zon-Zoli, Hominy district during the annual In-Lon-Schka dance (a traditional Osage ceremonial). One might expect that her ceramics would overtly incorporate markers of her tribal traditions, to make sure that their influence was recognizable. As a Native ceramicist, she might be expected to build forms that fit in the Native pottery genre, wide bodied bowls with small mouths. But Fields does not comply so

>Excerpted from a message to the Choctaw Nation from Chief Gregory E. Pyle>As I walked carefully down my drive during the last bout of freezing weather [of the season] I thought of the steps made by our ancestors on the Trail of Tears. We read of the hardships and the disease, hunger and death along the trail. It is difficult for us to fully comprehend everything they endured. ¶ The Choctaw Nation’s commemorative Trail of Tears Walk is held annually to honor those who died along the way and the men, women and children who survived to begin a new life. ¶ This year’s Trail of Tears Walk will end at Wheelock Academy. The grass will be green and the small lake behind Pushmataha Hall willreflect the tall trees surround-ing the water. It’s a peaceful location, and will come alive again that day with hundreds of people exploring the campus. ¶ It’s a time to follow our ancestors’ path, a day for fellowship, and an opportunity to learn more about the history of the Choctaw Nation.
