Black Pinto Horse: Artist and Community Builder
Monte Yellow Bird Sr., known in the art world as Black Pinto Horse, is a nationally known Artist, Cultural/Educational Consultant, Presenter and Storyteller. A member of the Arikara and Hidatsa Nation from White Shield, North Dakota, he currently resides in Great Falls Montana where he served during the fall of 2007 through the spring of 2008 as the Artist-in-Residence with the Great Falls Public schools and Paris Gibson Square Museum. When he is not performing these responsibilities, or working in his studio, Monte hardly misses an opportunity to share his insights, talents and experiences at regional events as well as pursue other short-term residencies throughout the nation as time allows.
He is devoted to a positive expression of the harmonic balance between humanity and nature. Through his art and teaching, he offers a multitude of gifts and his optimism shines in his motto: "We are on this earth for such a short time, if you're going to shine, shine brightly".
Rife with symbolism, his visual expression honor his spiritual roots, Indigenous heritage and both Modern and Contemporary art traditions through a bold use of color and design combined with a pictorial narrative that activates the viewer's imagination. He is motivated by a passionate desire to build connections between the past and the present with a hopeful eye toward a brighter future built around empathy and understanding between diverse communities in which the nation is comprised.
As an artist he best expresses himself through the use of a collection of vibrant colors, shapes and symbols of his traditions. His love of color, the faith he learned from his mother and images from his First Nation heritage are all influences helping to create his artwork. His focus on collaborating “First Nation” Images with 20th century “Expressionism” has given him a better understanding of himself and has been the key to establishing his own style of works. His work is a reflection of pride for his people and a respect for life.
	Beyond his own artistic pursuits, Black Pinto Horse is a highly affective advocate for the arts, community building and First Peoples concerns. His reach stretches across the plains as though he were a contemporary nomad following meandering trails to deliver his message to communities of all sizes and ages. His ability to integrate his spiritual, aesthetic and First Nation heritage into his work and convey that experience to a broad audience is profound.
In addition to his visual work, he conveys his cultural wisdom through apt storytelling abilities. He has refined this heritage into a focal point for his life and art. His visual narratives express the dualities of the past and present along with reminders of the the incongruities that have occurred between the U.S. government, mainstream populace and Indigenous Nations in a compassionate, thoughtful and positive manner that reminds us all of our responsibilities to our communities and the people they serve.
Black Pinto Horse attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the age of fifteen and furthered his Art studies at North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota majoring in History Education with an Art minor. In 2002, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from Minot State University, North Dakota. Among other things, he provides team building workshops to corporations, educates teachers about First Nation traditions and culture and attends art shows across the United States.
With experience in many different capacities, he also works with at-risk youth and is trained in the Boys Town behavioral modification system where he served as a cultural consultant for the Native American students and staff at Boys Town in Nebraska. He travels with his spouse and partner Emily Yellow Bird (also a visual artist and educator) providing hands-on art making opportunities to eager communities. Return to Top
