In the debut episode of this series, attorney John Haney, who chairs our Native American Affinity Group, talks about his experience with art in Native American culture. John's father, Enoch Kelly Haney, created "The Guardian" sculpture that sits atop the Oklahoma state capitol building. Standing 22 feet tall, it represents the 39 tribes of Oklahoma and can be viewed from all angles because of its height. He also shares his experience with flute making and playing. John's grandfather, William Woodrow Haney, was a prominent Native American flute maker and flute player as well as a widely respected Seminole storyteller. John himself makes and plays flutes like his grandfather, and he shares both how his grandfather has influenced his work and how music allows him to connect with his ancestors while passing on stories of Native American people.
