Oscar Howe was a Native American master artist, born in South Dakota. Although he grew up in poverty on a reservation, he was taught the rich traditions of his Dakota heritage. When he was a young boy, he had a strong desire to draw. His father thought art was "nonsense", and tried to discourage him.
