**Subject Matter:** The strength and determination of Native American Women **Medium: **Acrylic Paints, Watercolors and Gouche ( water paint, splash or “bodycolor” (the term preferred by art historians) is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water) Dana Tiger’s artwork interweaves traditional Native American believes with modern, contemporary issues/ideas. She focuses on Native American women and animals and plants that are important to her Muscogee culture. I believe that Native American art is any type of art, using any type of medium, that depicts any topic that is important to Native Americans. Many (but not all) pieces of artwork created by Native Americans incorporate nature (animals and plants) into their artwork. Likewise, being a Native American artist means creating artwork that is important to his/her culture and lives which may or may not look like what one might consider to be “Native American” art.
