 Wanan Namayanhun Huwo? (Lakota "Can You Hear Me Now?" 
Chief David Bald Eagle has been a friend of mine since the 1980’s. I have made many paintings of him and members of his family. We met at Artist Ride in South Dakota where he was a model for the many artists that attend. We had finished a pretty long hot day of photography and David was dressed in his eagle feather bonnet and beaded shirt and pants that his wife Josee had made for him. He had a beautiful hand-quilted leather bags that was decorated with dyed  porcupine quills. As we were walking from his tepee to my camp, his bag started buzzing. I asked him what that buzzing was and he pulled out his cell phone and said, " People want to talk  to me all the time on this thing."  That gave me an idea for a painting and David was willing to pose again.   I like to keep it real so as he held the cell phone to his ear, I decided to make him laugh by bringing up something that had happened that Spring….. “David! It’s Josee on the phone…the truck broke down in Deadwood and she needs a new Alternator.” That hit his funny bone and he cracked up laughing and I got what I was looking for, a good hearty laugh. To embellish my tall tale a bit further, I added smoke signals coming out of the antenna. Four puffs for a GOOD SIGNAL! David helped me name this painting, by telling me the Lakota way to say “Can you hear me now?” Wanan Namayanhun Huwo?
