"When they returned" Another View, Very Cool
I was born in South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1962, now I reside a few miles north of Roberts, MT. I am a self-taught artist, although I continued my education and received a B.A. from Montana State University. I have painted most of my life. At first, I thought the only true art was realist painting, never considering any other style. Although I had great satisfaction in painting that way, I needed to say more. My work is in permanent collections in Montana and South Dakota, as well as numerous private collections. I won "best of show" at The Great Falls Native American Art Show, spring of 2000, and have been a judge for the Indian Health Service National Poster Contest. I was a visiting artist at Purdue University, and at schools in Montana, and Wyoming. One of my pieces placed "first in watercolor division" at The Red Cloud Indian Art Show-2000. My works can be seen in a number of galleries across the country.	Ivan Long's Website Native E-cards Passaparola "MedicineHorse"
"My works depict the past, which with every passing day is slipping away from the foundation that it was built upon. Combining my knowledge of the equine and my tribal heritage, I hope to tell a story from a different perspective about today’s Native American. By virtue of personal experiences within my culture and inter- action with non-natives, I hope to convey a very unique perspective- one which we all can personally share."	"What Are We About"
