He was given the Navajo name Nā'hat'āh Yīĺth Wōod, which translates to \"One Who Delivers the Message\". Born into a family rich in heritage, his mother declared him a storyteller from birth rather than a warrior. James graduated with honors from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1984, and later attended the Parsons School of Design in New York City.  He officially introduced his artwork to the competitive Indian Art world in 1988, and since then, his soft sculptures, masks and totems have become highly collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Peter Ray James, Navajo\u003cbr\u003eSize: 20 1\/2\" wide x 15\" tall x 3\" deep\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: canvas, feathers, leather, thread, metal\u003cbr\u003eCondition:  from a private collection - very good condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHC10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sundance Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47809493205097,"sku":"WHC10","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0242\/5605\/3353\/files\/IMG_3679.jpg?v=1784216380","url":"https:\/\/thesundancegallery.com\/products\/peter-ray-james-navajo-large-stuffed-horse-authentic-native-american-whc10","provider":"The Sundance Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
