Sky Woman by Ernest Smith (1936). Produced as part of the "Indian Arts Project" Federal Art Project.
Ernest Peter Smith was a Native American artist from the Tonawanda Seneca Nation. Smith painted mostly traditional Seneca myths and stories of daily life in the Seneca village he grew up in. Smith taught himself how to draw and paint, but left school before he could graduate to help support his family.
The story of Sky Woman is present in many different North American oral traditions and explains the origin of humans on Earth. The story teaches reciprocity and the remembering that humans arrived to the world last, making us the youngest of species and therefore, reminding us of the importance to learn from other species. This painting by Ernest Smith portrays the story.
