"Shan Goshorn (July 3, 1957 - December 1, 2018) was an Eastern Band Cherokee artist, who lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her multi-media artwork expresses human rights issues, especially those that affect Native American people today. Goshorn used different media to convey her message, including woven paper baskets, silversmithing, painting, and photography. She is best known for her baskets with Cherokee designs woven with archival paper reproductions of documents, maps, treaties, photographs and other materials that convey both the challenges and triumphs that Native Americans have experienced in the past and are still experiencing today"--Wikipedia contributors, "Shan Goshorn," Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shan_Goshorn&oldid=877759455 (accessed February 23, 2019).

"Cherokee artist Shan Goshorn doesn’t head out into the woods gathering white oak or other natural materials for her work like traditional basketmakers would. Instead, archives of museums like the Gilcrease or the National Museum of the American Indian are her source materials. Using treaties, documents containing the Cherokee language and recent legislation affecting Native Americans, Goshorn weaves baskets that she hopes shows people the relevance of some of those documents."
