You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Fred Beaver''' (2 July 1911 – 18 August 1980) was a prominent [[Muscogee Creek]]-[[Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma|Seminole]] painter and muralist from [[Oklahoma]].<ref name=lester>Lester, Patrick D. ''The Biographical Directory of Native American Painters.'' Norman and London: The Oklahoma University Press, 1995: 48-9. ((ISBN|0-8061-9936-9)).</ref><ref>((Cite book |last=King |first=Jeanne Snodgrass |url=http://archive.org/details/americanindianpa00king |title=American Indian painters; a biographical directory |date=1968 |publisher=New York : Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation |others=Smithsonian Libraries))</ref>

==Background==
Fred Beaver was born in [[Eufaula, Oklahoma]]. His Muscogee name was Ekalanee, meaning "Brown Head."<ref name=llw>Wyckoff, Lydia L. ''Visions and Voices: Native American Painting from the Philbrook Museum of Art.'' Tulsa, OK: Philbrook Museum of Art, 1996: 72-78. ((ISBN|0-86659-013-7)).</ref> He was the son of Willie Beaver and Annie Johnson, was raised in Eufaula, and attended the Eufaula High School. He had become the All-State football and basketball star player. His grandfather was the sub-chief of the Okfuskee town in Alabama named Itshaus Micco, and had moved his town to where Eufaula is today.<ref>[http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/biography.aspx?artist=101543  Fred Beaver (1911 - 1980).] ''AskArt.'' (retrieved 22 April 2009)</ref>

Before Beaver had attended grade school, he was not able to speak any English and became a self-taught artist throughout the years of school. Graduating from high school in 1931, Beaver went straight into college at [[Bacone College]]. Beaver was an important part of the early Bacone College in [[Muskogee, Oklahoma]]. He had attended the Haskell Business College after graduating from Bacone in 1935.

Beaver really had no art training at Bacone while he was there and gave up his art career during the [[Great Depression]] and went to serve in [[World War II]]. Once he had returned to the United States, he picked up his art career again and had a great teacher and second cousin on his wife’s side of the family, named [[Acee Blue Eagle]].

==Art career==
Soon after looking for help and thinking about going back to school for art, he entered the [[Philbrook Museum of Art]]'s  annual art competition in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]] and won an Honorable mention award. He helped define traditional Oklahoma Indian art with his style that he created; he started defining traditional painting of the [[Five Civilized Tribes]]. Beaver was one of the first artists to be designated as "Master Artists" of the [[Five Civilized Tribes Museum]]. His works are included in many museums and collections, including the [[Heard Museum]] ([[Phoenix, Arizona]]), the [[Sequoyah Research Center]] in [[Little Rock, Arkansas]], and the [[Philbrook Museum of Art]] ([[Tulsa, OK]]).<ref name=lester/>

Beaver has gone on to win many awards at the Philbrook’s annual competitions and has worked for the [[Bureau of Indian Affairs]] for twenty-five years of his life. He was able to make a living off his artwork full-time and became more aware of the detail that was put into the paintings.

The Creek and Seminole artists were starting to question the work he was doing that represented the tribes' cultures. But his work is very accurate in the images, such as [[chickee]]s and patchwork in clothing ((Citation needed|date=December 2014)). He has been interviewed at the [[University of Florida]] for The Southeastern Indian [[Oral History]] Project, which was in collaboration with the [[Seminole Tribe of Florida]].

Beaver designed three medallions for the [[Franklin Mint]]'s celebration of the [[United States Bicentennial]] in 1976.<ref name=lester/>

==Quote==
<blockquote>I wanted to change the non-Indian's image of my people, and I wanted to help my own people understand themselves, especially the young.<ref name=llw/></blockquote>
