Yvonne Tiger explores the life and lasting impact of Angel De Cora (Hinook-Mahiwi-Kalinaka), a Ho-Chunk artist, designer, writer, and educator who helped shape the foundations of Native American visual culture. Through her illustrations, typography, and teaching, De Cora blended Western art training with Indigenous worldviews, carving out space for Native expression in a time of assimilationist pressure. The talk reflects on her creative journey—from her early years on the Winnebago Reservation to her studies with Dwight Tryon and Howard Pyle—and considers how her legacy continues to influence Native artists and designers today. Her story is one of resistance, reinvention, and reclaiming narrative through design.

This class is available to purchase individually, or at a discounted rate when the course pass is purchased.
