Muriel Antoine, Sicangu Brule
Ms. Antoine draws on her traditional background to create highly emotive, symbolic personal statements about Lakotas, Native peoples, and human experience. The Lakota philosophy of respect for all living things and the four sacred colors of people are celebrated in her works and offer a way of being in the world that is sorely needed today. As a great-grandmother of 11, a Korean War veteran, pipe keeper, and a traditional spiritual person, she holds a Masters Degree in educational administration from the University of South Dakota , Vermillion. In addition, she is a prolific writer, using the pen name Anpetu Winyan (Day Woman). Her varied experiences infuse her writing and inspire her audiences.
