Dana Tiger

Artist

Dana Tiger is an internationally acclaimed Oklahoma artist of Muscogee Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee heritage.  Inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Ms. Tiger’s visibility has enabled her to become a strong advocate for the rights of women and minorities.  She is the daughter of the famous Indian Artist Jerome Tiger (full blood Creek-Seminole).  The primary subject of her art is strong Native American women in both traditional and contemporary settings.

Ms. Tiger’s work continually reflects her involvement with her community and her advocacy for the rights of women and minorities, especially Native Americans.  She has donated paintings for poster projects to a number of worthwhile campaigns. Among these are the National Police Chiefs Convention, AIDS Coalition for Indian Outreach, American Indian College Fund, American Cancer Society, Ozark Literacy Council, the Indians in Medicine Project, the National Organization for Women, and the Conference of the State of the American Family.

Her vision is to create the Legacy Cultural Learning Community, dedicated to teaching art to Native youth and bringing in Elders to teach language and culture to young people.  The community will be developed within the Muscogee Creek and Cherokee Nations.
