Yanktonai Dakota artist Oscar Howe’s Corn Palace designs were being put in place for the second year in a row in September 1949, according to The Daily Plainsman. The famed artist would design murals for the Corn Palace for more than two decades.

Born in 1915 in Joe Creek, South Dakota, on the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation, Howe’s talent was recognized early in his career as an artist, and by the time he was 18, he had work on display around the world, according to the University of South Dakota. In his late teens, he studied the arts at the Studio of Santa Fe Indian School. Graduating in 1938, he then returned to South Dakota.
