Horace Poolaw was born in (1906–1984) a Kiowa photographer from Mountain View, Oklahoma .
Both of these photographers portray the honest and contemporary story of Indigenous peoples through their art, in a relevant and beautiful manner. It is a poignant departure from the historical stoic and negative depiction of First Nations people, that seems frozen in the past instead of a contemporary present.
