Q: Although Howling Wolf’s drawing is seen as naively executed by the standards of western art. Why do we conclude that his record of the treaty signing event is more honest than the illustration recorded by the other artist?
A: I think that his was more honest because of everything that he included that was going on around them at the time of the signing. He also gave great detain over what the rolls of the woman were and that this was how they were seen in that time that the treaty was signed. This was honest because it also showed the cross of the roads and detention of where they were during the time of the signing of the treaty.

The other artist (Taylor) only showed the representation of the meeting where the treaty was signed and it gave no detail of what was going on around them at the time.

Q: Why did the white artist ignore the many native women who were present at the treaty signing? Do you this omission was deliberate or unintentional due to the cultural bias?
A: I do not think that Taylor intentionally left out the other woman I think he was just concentrating on what was going on in the signing and that this stunning woman walked into this wearing this red velvet dress and matching bonnet. I think that he was concentrating on Margret Adams because she came in and was a woman that could be a part of the signing when the other woman were on the outside and not actually included in the signing. I think that he only made sure to include the people that were the main parts of the signing. I do not think that he meant anything by it by ignoring to include the other women that were there during the signing of the treaty. I think that he may have seen the difference between the women because the other woman
