Exhibition Label: "Passages: Persistent Visions of a Native Place," Sep-2011, Nancy Mahaney The two works presented here present a highly skilled depiction of Little Bear. The drawing, on antique ledger paper, serves as a figure study for the final work. In the painting of Little Bear, Pappan utilizes the image of the railroad poster advertising native lands creating a juxtaposition of person and place as defined within the context of relocation.
