Footnotes

Paul Pletka, while not a Native American artist, has been fascinated with Native North American cultures, costumes and artifacts since his early childhood. He does meticulous research on his subjects, prioritizing portraying his largely 19th century subjects as accurately as possible. Pletka has been quoted referring to himself as an "interpreter," working in a neo-surrealistic representative style.
