| Don Montileaux, a Lakota painter, carries on the the traditions of his ancestors by translating ancient pictographs and visions of contemporary warriors onto animal hides.
Montileaux was raised in Rapid City, Iowa. After graduating from high school he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Once mentored by Herman Red Elk, Montileaux now mentors emerging artists and regularly visits reservations across the Plains.
Montileaux's work has been featured in museums across the United States.
