Joseph Kossuth Dixon (1856ā1926) was born in Hemlock Lake, New York, and began his career as a Baptist minister after graduating from Rochester Theological Seminary. He later shifted into lecturing and educational work, eventually partnering with Wanamaker's and gaining the support of Rodman Wanamaker. Between 1908 and 1913, Dixon led three expeditions across the United States to document Native American tribes through photography, film, and sound recordings, including the 1913 āExpedition of Citizenship.ā
Dixon became best known for his portraits of Indigenous peoples, producing more than 8,000 images. His work was shaped by the eraās āvanishing raceā narrative, and he often staged scenes or used visual effects to create dramatic compositions. Despite this, his collection remains an important historical record of Indigenous life in the early twentieth century.
Iāve been working on a new medallion piece this week. I wanted to create something nostalgicāsomething inspired by my sister Denise, who taught me how to bead. Iām far from a pro, but Iām really proud of how this turned out.
Of course I had to use the neon beadsāIāll always love how they pop. I still have some fill work, backing, and the rope to finish, but I wanted to share where itās at so far.

I made it out to Lodge Pole to cook with Aunt Val Chopwood. We made Pizza, Chicken Salad Sandwiches and Banana Dream Pies. Growing up my mom always made Dream Pies but not banana flavored, so we tried it out. Last week me and Aunt Sis went to Malta and got a few groceries and went out to eat instead of cooking. I hope everyone's weekend is good. Next weekend is Easter, so im not sure what were doing for that. š£ š āļø
