I some way I envy you your knowledge of history, although it is not something that is fun to know of, it is very important and valuable. I know very little of the indians, just what we were taught at school in Norway. But just those hours in school made an impact on me.

Hi Deva. You’re not alone in knowing just what’s taught in school regarding the history of Indians in America. It’s pretty much the same tune here in the States where textbook portraits are the norm. If what you learned made an ‘impact’ upon you then I suspect you may have received something more substantial than what is generally served up here. Glad you’re appreciating these historical posts.

O’kay. I love the name Susan Fears Nothing. I have an idea mine would have been Leslie Gets Angry Alot. I also bet my write-up typed out on that gossip paper would say that I waste my time painting and don’tdeserve $20 a month.

Hi Leslie ‘Gets Angry Alot’. Just to clarify the ‘gossip’ paper is from a time when there was no such thing as ‘political correctness’ and the the content of the document reflects the mindset of the person who wrote it. As is it offers a glimpse into the social-policial dynamics at work in 1922. It’s not ‘pretty’ but it’s an honest presentation of attitude and perception of the time period.
I certainly hope you never feel as if you waste your time painting!
Thanks so much for all your interest and commentary on this material.

Hi Y. Glad you ‘love’ ‘Susan Fears Nothing’. I’m able to scan the prints-photos. There are other negatives on file that do not have prints. These are harder to scan with good results.

are you able to rent one of the negative scanners and take it in?
