“I never allow a lack of knowledge on a particular subject matter to hold me back from doing something,” said James Parker Shield, Little Shell Chippewa, when talking about the National Native American Hall of Fame. “About ten years ago I thought: there is a Hall of Fame for just about everything else, why not Indians?” asked Parker Shield. “Then, I didn’t know much about museums and such, but I saw the need.” Since then, with the help and support of many tribal leaders stretching from Florida to Alaska and resolutions of support provided by the National Indian Education Association, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (tribal colleges) and others, that dream was realized in 2018 when the National Native Hall of Fame (NNAHF), a 501(c)3 organization inducted its first honorees.

Central Normanâs majestic mature tree canopy inspired a little girl who grew up here to be an artist in a very tangible way.
Love of nature and the ways it can be captured in art became a dual career later in her life. Jarica Walsh is both an accomplished printmaker and ceramicist, along with being the Oklahoma Arts Councilâs Director of Arts in Public Places.
The council is the official state agency for the support and development of the arts in Oklahoma. Walsh is a graduate of Norman High School and holds a BFA from the University of Oklahoma.
