Ledger art has traditionally been created by men to recount the lives of male warriors on the Plains. Often, old store, military, bank or municipal "ledger: paper sheets were the only paper available. Those sheets most often were already used ...lines of dates, numbers, information of no interest to the artist. Now we (or I) see it as a secondary memoralization of the time the art was done. So, those used ledger sheets were what got used for a "canvas" when rock walls, caves and the older traditional ways of memorializing events were no longer available to "captive" or reservation natives.
During the past forty years, this form has been adopted by Native female artists, who are turning previously untold stories of women’s lifestyles and achievements into ledger-style pictures. While there has been a resurgence of interest in ledger art, little has been written about these women ledger artists.
