David Wagner recently sold a series of 102 paintings to the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut for more than $1 million. The tribe bought his paintings because of their accurate depiction of Eastern Woodland tribes.

Wagner strives to present Indians as accurately as possible, relating an incident when he was asked to illustrate a children's book on Eastern Indians with teepees and horses.
