	Sandra Eagle Sandra is Paiute-Shoshone. As a child she learned beading from her mother, Jeanette Eagle. Her willow work was learned from her grandmother, Adele Sampson. Sandra uses traditional design for her beading in combination with her own interpretations. Her willow work begins with locating and choosing the right willow. The willow is hand split and woven into baskets or cradle boards and then decorated with beadwork, feathers or shells.

	Dennis Eagle Horse This Hunkpapa Lakota artist is the great-grandson of Chief Gall, who was adopted by Sitting Bull as a younger brother. "My art is original and I try always to bring my spiritual feelings for "Tunkasila" (The Great Spirit) into my work. In my beginning years with my art, my Grandfather, Peter Pretty Sounding Flute, told me that everything I should create with my hands and mind should be created for "Tunkasila", so that in the eyes of the people they would see the beauty around them."
	L. David Eveningthunder, This award-winning Shoshone artist spent his childhood on the Shoshone-Bannock Reservation in Fort Hall, Idaho. The spiritual guidance he received from his father and grandfather, both medicine people, helped him maintain his identity even after he became orphaned at a young age and was taken away from his people. He is known for his highly artistic portrayals of native dancers.
