Paul Goble is a good example for discussion about the relevancy of IC in society. For North American Native Indian
tribes in the Dakotas,
such as the Sioux: Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, Sisseton, Wahpeton, and others, he is a point of contention despite what some might
say. Is what lies at the center of the controversy is the fact that he was able to get the South Dakota State Art Museum to
sign a contract for them to be legally bound to display his works for a certain length of time during the year and in return
the museum was given a large collection of his works. But some people would argue that that is nothing compared to his direct
profiteering from specific tribes in South Dakota by “selling their culture” due in large part from his works
being copyrighted. Not only is Paul Goble an acclaimed artist, but he has also won national awards for recognition of the
children’s books he has written; they too are based on the Sioux tribal culture as well.
