Native American, Lakota Doll Artist, Diane Tells His Name, (Oglala) has been crafting dolls, stitching beadwork and making sketches and other art since childhood. Some of the dolls she creates has a story included. Each has a personality of its own. Every doll comes with a white, metal doll stand. Acrylic frame encasement extra at $7.00.

Having gone back to college at age 45, she completed her education and now works as an Artifact Collection Manager for a Tribal Museum in San Diego. Exposure to the history and beauty of the items in the museum has rekindled her interest in creating her own art.

Diane currently has a doll on exhibit in San Diego until late September 2007. She also has dolls in collections at museums and for sale in museums and galleries with collectable art and is working with the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. to accession a doll into their collection. Private doll collectors and other Native American Artists own and collect Diane's handmade Indian dolls.

Diane lives in North San Diego County with her cowboy husband of many years and teen aged daughter. Her four grown children and eleven grandchildren all live within a short drive. Powwowing, herb gardening and the fulfilling and interesting life being involved in the Indian Community in San Diego keeps the family busy.
