Chief Carl Sampson (1933-2017) of Pendleton, OR, was a well-known portrait artist, sculptor, and painter of native drums, regalia, and teepees. An acquaintance of mine is friends with the chief's wife. The father of one of my former students is an enrolled member of the Auburn Tribe, which owns the Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, CA. The tribe provides scholarships to enrolled members and families. Though this dad has benefitted from being a Native American Indian, he believes in a merit-based educational system, not nativism.
