Since Europeans first discovered the Americas, artists painting in the European traditions have been portraying American Indians and their cultures, sometimes realistically, sometimes imaginatively and stereotypically, in their art. Shown below are some of the paintings in the art gallery in the Historic St. Mary’s Mission Museum in Stevensville, Montana.
