My name is John Isaiah Pepion, and I am a Plains Indian graphic artist from the Piikani Band of the Blackfoot Confederacy.
I'm based out of the Blackfeet reservation in north-central Montana, where the Rocky Mountains meet the Plains.
I am best known for my ledger art, an art tradition that developed in Plains tribes: as the buffalo hide we traditionally
used for painting became scarce, Plains people were forced to adapt by making artwork on ledger paper from
accounting books. I come from a family of artists, and pictographic art has been in my family for hundreds of years.
