Multiple NYC museum visits apparently taps into people’s inner writer (or wanna be inner writer). This little tidbit is inspired by the Cecelia Fire Thunder dancer doll found at the Native Museum of the American Indian. I discovered Cecelia Fire Thunder through the Infinity of Nations exhibition and so far am quite impressed by her regardless of the past controversy she has been involved in.

*Interesting tidbit
