Great paintings CT Michael!
Wow, the paintings are simple but you can stare at them for hours! They have so much power in them. I’m also glad to see that you have a small biography on the artist now. Once again another great job! Keep it up.
Yes! The “Generations” caught my eye.The clothing and head dress is just perfect.
Thanks for sharing.

Great! Seldom get to see Native American works of art.
Another enjoyable gallery. These are paintings with power. I greatly enjoyed the imagery. This Native American art is very powerful and direct in it’s symbolism and simplicity. I was particularly drawn to Wohpe. Thank you Daria and CT.
Appreciatively,
Karla
Thank you for sharing these paintings. They are powerful and magical.

Wonderful Native Art! Are there any new paintings forth coming?
Thank you for this enjoyable gallery, very nice.
Each painting spoke to me in it’s own way I loved them all, I really like 90′s feel stuff so this was right for me, question though… I’m from Canada so maybe I’m missing something but how does Irish Egyptian and Scottish make you Native American? Why would tribes even call themselves those names?
…
Your paintings are spectacular. I have always loved the art of the native americans. Their pottery, basket weaving, even their music, it brings a certain tranquility and peace to the soul. They are truely inspirational
I am Native American (Omaha Tribe of Nebraska) There are no tribes under your listing. I have been to many pow-wows (Tribal Social Gatherings) and have yet to meet any tribal member with any of the listings you offered. Where do you hail from? what’s your enrollment#? who is your tribal council? how many seats?
Hi Louanne,
Yes, there will be more paintings as well as more photos. I’m in contact with several artists, interested to be featured in this Inspirational Art Gallery, as we speak. Thanks for stopping by and commenting,

Wow. I love the paintings so much. CT Michael is an amazing painter who puts so much emotion and meaning into his paintings. They must be that much more impressive in real life. I especially love “Generations” painting. We don’t get to see Native American paintings too often and I’m happy these came out of hiding.
Very nice job, all.
Great Work!!! Lakotaman…
I personally love the Akicita.

Deep gratitude for the sharing of the art work of our Native American brother -all the paintings call forth our own indigenous heritage of my Ibanag , the river people of Cagayan Valley Philippoines. Looking forward to the sharing of others.
Greetings All,
Ct Michael with You. First Thank You for all the wonderful comments on my work. Next to answer a few questions, i offer this. For Joseph: My National bloodlines and heritage exist as French Creole, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Afro-Nigerian from my Mother; and Scottish, Irish, Cherokee, Si Hasapa (Blackfoot) Lakota, Afro-Judean and Afro-Egyptian from my Father. My base genetic code hails 65% from my Father and his Mother’s blood line. So the Lakota culture has always had a much more powerful pull on my personality.
For Hawk: Being born outside of “The Rez”, i have no true tribal affiliation or papers. This was something that i had looked into obtaining during the early 1990′s. However due to financial restraints to hire a geneologist and a few family members who desired to withhold certain infomation concerning the family’s Native American heritage, this aspect remains on the shelf so to speak.
More important in my view and understanding would be the fact that i know who i am, and where i hail from. I attend Pow-wows and spiritual gatherings also Brother Hawk and i have learned to look beyond tribal affiliation and see each as an individual and more importantly as a Human Being.

Beautiful paintings and wonderful sharing of thoughts.
Thank you my brother
Your art is very beautiful and inspiring filled with spirit. It shows what humans have lost in present day, “that” all important spiritual conection to universe which, has been lacking for a very long time and the need to be in touch with spirit and all of creation to create the change that is needed. Beautiful Work!
My brother your paintings are beautifully breath taking. I love them all. Night prayer,Wohpe – Makanagi,Akicita,and Generations are my favorites. You have put your soul and heart into these paintings and it shows through them. Wonderful art work my brother and I hope to see more from you.
Lovely work and very inspirational.
Do more!
Night prayer is my favorite, because the sparks are making a pattern that’s connecting both worlds. I can see patterns in every picture and interpret it as a focus of a spirit.
I’m inspired and I’m looking forward of tonight’s night prayer

Sir,
Night Prayer spoke to me straight away, made my DNA tingle. I the energy in my hands turn on while looking at it.
But what struck me more was your response to the interrogation as to your heritage. All I can say is, “well done.” I thought your response was perfect; well spoken, respectful, and you got the very important point across to accept each person as an individual and not lump them into a, seemingly, all encompassing ‘affiliation’.
Thank you for sharing your work. W.
I love ALL of your pictures, and I can resonate with each and everyone of them They are very beautiful, full of meaning, and the power of life and love for Mater Neter, Mother Earth.
In Divine Love, NileQueenAset
Thank you for sharing your paintings CT. They are very personal, speaking of your inner voice. Reading your explanation of your background brought greater meaning and appreciation of them for me.
I too enjoyed your forthright response and your powerful images. Vision Quest strikes a deep chord with me.
Thank you for bringing your beautiful work out into the light.
I really like how these paintings effectively and beautifully capture the relationship that Native Americans share with nature as well as explore the belief system that they hold. The paintings may be simple, but I can feel the emotion that is attached to them. Thank you very much for sharing!
These are fantastic paintings! I especially love the second one, standing next to the tree. The tree imagery is so beautiful! Amazing brushstrokes.
I have been seeing many galleries out of them this special one which impressed me a lot.Great paintings by CT Michael.I personally most impressed by Generations painting.
They’re all really nice, but I like the first painting the most. Each painting looks like it’s rich in history, and has a very interesting story behind it. I could easily see these on the cover of a children’s storybook or novel.
I had a friend in college whose family was Lakota Indian and she told me about her brother doing the Hanbla Ceya Ceremony. I think this is a very interesting and good custom. I am especially liking your picture of the Hanbla Ceya Ceremony depicted here. Beautiful colors and very spiritual in nature.
A human being. yes. A Native American-No.
Your paintings are inspiring and beautiful. Keep doing what you are. Keep being who you are.
such lovely spiritual work with such brilliance of colour. My favorite is generations. I attended a Pow-wow a few years ago, it was some experience & was so priviledged in being able to go.
Thank you for your work.

These are really beautiful paintings. I have some tarot cards that they remind me of – they are great for connecting to nature-spirit. Thanks a lot.
Hawk – I look at this page and it is your comments that stir more for me than the paintings… Why must CT have proof that he comes from where he says? Why must he prove anything to you, or any one? Surely what matters is his personal connection, where his heart lies, where he feels he belongs?
I have never been to America, I have not met you, I have not met CT and I never have replied in a blog before, but I feel the need to respond because that you seem to be saying you do not accept him as a Native American saddens me. We all are one, or did you forget…
CT your work is wonderful. From your words I feel there is even more to express through your art. Abandon all restraints and apply your creativity to the canvas or any other means that delight you…for you sir are a true “human” and an artist. As far as Hawk? Thank you Jen, you said it perfectly! Well…perhaps I will add one more thing…there is a reason that you are not referred to as Eagle…for as Eagle you would know that your negative opinions matter so little.
CT. your art work is amazing and beautiful through painting brings out all the energy love and adoration and respect to the people and who you really are,
My dear brother HAWK you are a Native American; my respect and admiration; in the Universe we are all energy and connected to the Universe also to each other; What make CT not a Native in your eyes brother HAWK is it his hair his nose the shape of his face his complexion I am from a Latin country am brown skin with high cheek bone. much love HAWK this is greatness
We all travelled a long time ago to the places we find ourselves in now,our mothers and fathers had the same mothers and fathers,
How wonderful is that,
I am from a long line of water keepers in the celtic line of my decent
also an artist,lets be proud that we got here,and hope our decendants ddo us proud,
love is all there is laxx
Absolutely divine; but then all expressions are! I am Native American. My father was born on A Cherokee Indian Reservation and yet I am blonde and blue eyed. Does that eliminate my heritage? I think not but then arent we all allowed to think what we will? I am anold soul and know that I have my acestral Native American heritage born into me and yet my past lives have been France and Ireand. Where does that lineage take me…… Human! Spirit! May God richly bless you CT and all those who are fortunate enough to be able to access your unique expression of self.
CT, this art is your depth in expression – very vivid – crystal clear mind – out of this world vision – amazing grace.
May God bless your spirit; your work speaks volumes about your life’s experiences and how you view life. You truly are genuine in your direction of faith, hope, and charity.
The colours your chose to use depict your true nature in strength, earthiness and wisdom. Congrats, brother, you have come a long way!
” NATIVE AMERICAN PAINTER ” Create and paints the memorable wonderful imageries of his tribes and beliefs, to shared his knowledge and power

The BUFFALO PAINTING is great and wonderful, the colors looks the natural nature on earth.
Thank you for sharing. I am puzzled as to why you have stopped painting? Have you? I hope that these responses to your beautiful work will encourage you to continue.
Blessings Always,
Your sister.

CT,
Finally I’ve a face to put to the name, but truly, you should smile. You are my brother and I am missing you. Your work, as beautiful and powerful as your spirit. As you wrote to me long ago, you must know yourself and not allow labels to be forced upon you or withheld from you. You are ever in my thoughts, am wishing you well.
Much Love & Blessings,
Maki Akicita Win
