Warriors from tribes across the Plains often wore feathers that were marked and painted in ways that told of their accomplishments in battle. In this fashion they would sometimes intimidate opponents who would be scared off after "reading" the stories related on the feathers. But sometimes they would also become the target of warriors who sought encounters with powerful opponents as a way of gaining personal power. With "Tribal Paint," Iowa artist Vickie Knepper, creator of the heartbreaking collectible "Wounded Knee," continues to use Painted Ponies to relate interesting and little-known stories about Plains Indian life.
