Courage is a Wild Horse
by Okee-Chee

Courage is a Wild Horse by Okee-Chee

Background Statement
Okee-Chee is an author and visual artist. She founded and managed Okee-Chee's Wild Horse Gallery in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood for ten years. She came to the American Indian Center as its Executive Director in 1997. She bought with her a treasury of paintings, dolls, skins, and craft items - made by herself and other Chicago-area Natives - to serve as the basis for a museum. These works were collected over her ten years working with artists through her gallery. When she stepped down as Executive Director to take care of her aging mother in Oklahoma, one of the items she left behind in the museum she built is a coloring book for children. "Courage" is one of Okee-Chee's sketches in that coloring book.
