The nature of history is that it is never “complete”, new information is gained every day that changes our understanding an interpretations of history. The mission of Incomplete Design History is to explore areas of graphic design history that are overlooked or ignored; to expand our knowledge in the field and to include all sides of the story. Incomplete design history seeks to be inclusive, inclusive not only of people but of ideas and technologies that advance the field of graphic design. History is messy. History is incomplete.

Brummett Echohawk was an Indigenous artist with an international reputation, but he was much more than that.
Born in Oklahoma and a member of the Pawnee tribe, Echohawk was also a writer, public speaker, actor, and served in the military as part of the 45th infantry during World War II where he saw action in Italy.
Limited histories of Brummett Echohawk tend to remember him well for his contributions to the art world. His work as a commercial artist, illustrator, and cartoonist has not received as much attention. More research is needed to uncover that part of Echohawk’s history so we can see the depth of his contribution to the history of illustration, a problem we hope today’s episode will begin to rectify.
