Students are encouraged to join a sit-down conversation with artist Johnnie Diacon. Diacon is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and a member of the Deer Clan. he studied Native Art at Bacone College and the Institute of American Indian Arts. 

Diacon's work is included in the new Indigenous Georgia exhibit at the Georgia Museum of Natural History.

“My art is geared toward the Muscogee people,” Diacon says. “It’s important to me to tell our stories in an accurate and authentic way. It’s really important that people see our images.” 

Diacon lives on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Bacone College, among others.
