Acknowledgments

A very grateful thank you to the Caddo Nation and Wichita and Affiliated Tribes. Their support and commitment made this exhibition and publication possible, especially Terri Parton, president of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes; Gary McAdams, cultural program planner for the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes; Tamara Francis, chairman of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; and Phil Cross, NAGPRA coordinator for the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.

In addition to the support given by First American Nations and artists across Oklahoma and the North American Southeast, this publication would not have been possible without the support of multiple museums and lenders.
