The man is wrapped in blankets, his arm outstretched to the cold, cobalt blue, starewren sky. The warrior's long black hair fades into the ice, the hand holds herbs, an offering to the darkness.
Indian art reflects societies' isolation
The night sky and the warrior exist within the hard edges of a ribbon of yellow and red. The parallel edges form a bird of prey, then a wizard will bind like flames to the edges of the canvas.

To the artist, Warren Ejeejan, the symbol of joyless. Ejeejan is a fullblood Polakawan.
"The thunderbird is the symbol for fire because the Indian got fire from thunder and lightning." Ejeeayan explained. "To us fire is god. When you watch a fire, you're seeing fire."
Ejeyan is one of 10 American Indian artists who works is being shown at the Smallwood Gallery, 418 W. 8th St., in Topeka. Ejeyan, like many Indian painters, is soft fare.
"I was taken away from my mother when I was young." Ejejayan said. "I've spent most of my life in institutions in Nebraska and Kansas until I was old enough to take care of myself. Painting was a way of keeping my sanity."
He explained his separation from his family by saying "there was lot of alcohol being involved."
"I've always found good jobs," he said.
"I've worked on shrimp boats in the Gulf and
Today he travels and paints, working at whatever job he can find to support himself.
BUT, HE SAID, I would like to be able to make a live painting in five years.
Ejeeyan said that he painted what he saw in his mind.
"Shield Dancer on Gold Background" bv Dann Miller.
"I see things differently than most people," he explained. "If I could put something on my head that would project what I see I wouldn't have to paint."
Eijeyaan's vision of the thunderbird, with its hard lines, bold colors and fine detail, is closely aligned with much of the traditional Indian art.
HIS PORTRAYAL of brave wearing stylized war paint, which runs a scar from the knee to the hip. Art its visceral quality and the obvious anger portrayed borders on triteness. Jeeyaan's
His portraits are more personal and less
stultified. They seem, except for their power,
to be more powerful than he is.
portraits make strong statements but lack finesse.
Subdiet is not a part of Danny Miller's work. Miller another artist whose works is what is above.
Miller, an ex-Marine, teaches mural painting at Haskell Indian Junior College. His figures are painstakingly detailed and intricately colored; colors usually associated with Indian art.
Miller usually portrays a moment frozen in time; a buffalo hunt, a shield dance or a battle.
MUIR is a former student of Dick West, a painter known for his influence on Indian art.
WEST WAS one of three men who taught at The Bacconi Junior College of Muskogee, Okla., and helped form what is called the "Baccone period" in American Indian art.
West's style is somewhat flat, high representative and usually depicts tribal art. West's work has been called a romantic and nostalgic vision of times past.
Miller represents the movement of Indian artists, instructed by painters of the "Bacone period," towards a more illustrative mode of painting.
West's paintings are pointedly two-
dimensional. Miller painted a greater depth
of detail in his monochrome drawings.
Miller is still true to the historical elements of his paintings but the flat, static Brugelhe-like quality of West's work is entirely absent from Miller's work.
ACCORDING TO Merv Jacob, the owner of smallwood, the art in his gallery has been sold.
For Jacob, the works of the artists shown in his gallery help to "preserve the oral and visual traditions of the Plains Indian." Jacobs said that the Indian artist was as important as the white artist but that the Indian artist was simply overlooked.
Smallwood opened Saturday.
