  • Thanks. The "Commodification and dispersal " section on that page is interesting.

    The roots of this commercialization can be traced to the late 19th century, when the founder of the Carlisle Indian School, Col. Richard Pratt began to teach entrepreneurial values to the Fort Marion prisoners of war. Artists held in this prison camp, such as Zotom and Howling Wolf were trained to create drawings on commission to “wealthy white patrons” in his efforts to assimilate the prisoners.
