Not much to discover, I can assure you!

[@jdemeulenaer123]

Is she inspired by her own roots or by America's roots?? Meaning American Indian culture and history and music...?

[@jdemeulenaer123]

American artist for American art? Inspired by local American Indian musical sounds, prayers and songs..???

[@jdemeulenaer123]

She is uninspired, dreary, and totally lacking in charisma. The stuff she churns out too is utter drivvle.

@ Simons why do youbsay that I'm curious?

@@hsujim Well in fairness, itbis a matter of taste and opinion to some extentand awards are often often overrated. Just because she has a Pulitzer doesn't automatically mean her work is good at all or of better quality than others that haven'twon awards.
