About our speaker

Lindsay Linton Buk is an artist, an editorial and commercial photographer, and a fifth-generation native of Wyoming. She created Women in Wyoming as a way to tell the stories of and celebrate the achievements, power, and learned wisdom of contemporary Wyoming women through art and media. For this project that is dear to her heart, Linton Buk has traveled more than 15,000 miles, developed 600 rolls of medium-format film, recorded 3,000 minutes of audio interview footage, and met with amazing women throughout Wyoming, including artists, Supreme Court Justices, politicians, authors, linguists, pilots, outdoorswomen, and others. Women in Wyoming shares their stories through portrait photography and a podcast, in which Linton Buk sits down for a conversation with these amazing women.

Siŋté Máza / Iron Tail: Archetype and Individual

By Emily Burns

May 23, 12:15 p.m.

Join Emily Burns, Assistant Professor of Art History at Auburn University, for a free presentation on Thursday, May 23 at 12:15 p.m. The lecture, titled Siŋté Máza / Iron Tail: Archetype and Individual, is hosted by the Center’s Buffalo Bill Museum and takes place in the Coe Auditorium.

Burns is the author of Transnational Frontiers: the American West in France (University of Oklahoma Press, 2018). She also serves as an Associate Editor of The Papers of William F. Cody.

The presentation will delve into the life and times of Siŋté Máza (Iron Tail) one of the most recognizable Buffalo Bill’s Wild West performers. His name often appears in the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West literature, but little is known about his life.

Burns explores the ways in which he used photographs and material culture in his role as a cultural and political ambassador for the Lakota abroad. Her research analyzes French, United States, and American Indian cultural exchanges in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A book signing at the Center Store follows the presentation.
