The Goodwyn Ledger Drawings were created by several Lakota and Cheyenne warrior artists in the Wood Mountain Uplands, SK in the late 1870’s. The images directly reflect a series of violent encounters with the U.S. military in Dakota Territory which had prompted a group of approximately 5,000 Native Americans to evacuate across the border to Canada guided by Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull.
