(Art Lewis 20th century, Choctaw) Although cited by both Barton Wright and Gregory Schaaf in their publications revealing American Indian jewelers, relatively little is shared about Art or Arthur Lewis, whose hallmark is an arrow and tepee.
Lewis‘ Choctaw name was Neetha Loosa, which translates to Black Bear. He worked as a silversmith from 1929 forward.
