Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player

"Doc liked to put beautiful things in his artwork, such as the flute, because it represented music being played to someone's sweetheart," Doc Tate Nevaquaya's wife Charlotte said. "He would say, 'We are not savages. We love, too.' That was the side that he wanted people to see, that Indian People had a way of courting that was beautiful."
