Ray Fadden was a member of the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk community of Akwesasne and founder of the Six Nations Indian Museum of Onchiota, New York. As an educator, Fadden painted and drew educational charts to convey elements of Haudenosaunee history and culture to audiences from around the world. Many of the charts “comment on the larger power dynamics, missing stories, and loss of oral traditions that originated due to the invasion of White settlers between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries,” according to research done by SLU student Berit Brecke. Early on, the artist enlisted the help of his son, John Fadden. Later, others were brought in to assist, including Bob Gabor (Sagotaoala), Guy “Buck” Spittal (Hahaka Sapa), and William "Bill" Loran (Kaheroton)
