During one of her study sessions she discovered an image of Medicine Crow, an Apsáalooke chief, in a random book in the university library. Enamored by his image, she made a xerox copy and kept the chief’s image in her sketchbook. A decade later, in 2014, she revisited this image to create an exhibition at the Portland Art Museum titled \u003cem\u003eMedicine Crow \u0026amp; the 1880 Crow Peace Delegation\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBíilukaa\u003c\/em\u003e builds upon this theme of researching historical photographs of Apsáalooke individuals and material culture, with the artist drawing on both her personal collection and works held in museums and archives across the country.
