       "Richard Twiss is a member of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate from the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. He is President of Wiconi International and is committed to creating opportunities for the betterment of Native people through advancing education, culture, family and spirituality--in the Spirit of Jesus. Richard is a speaker, activist, educator, author and networker within Native North American and International Indigenous communities. He holds a doctorate in intercultural studies from Asbury Theological Seminary and has authored several works, namely One Church Many Tribes: Serving Jesus the Way God Made You (Regal Books). He is an adjunct professor at Portland State University and Sioux Falls and George Fox Seminaries, and a CCDA board member. Formerly, he served as Senior Pastor of New Discovery Community Church (1982-95) and as Director of Native American Ministries for the International Bible Society (1995-96). In 1972, Richard was a participant in the American Indian Movement's forced occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Building. He and his wife, Katherine, have four sons and live in Vancouver, WA."

I based the drawings above upon one of my old paintings.
