Marlene Riding In Mameah (March 5, 1933 – July 10, 2018) was a Pawnee Native American silversmith and painter.

Born Marlene Mary Riding In[2] in Payne County, Oklahoma, Mameah was a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.[3]

Education

Mameah attended Chilocco Indian School.[2] She then went to Bacone College, where she wished to study silver smithing. But the class was unavailable to women, and she was required to take painting classes instead; she later learned to work silver while working for a jeweler.[4] Her instructor was W. Richard West, Sr. (Southern Cheyenne)[5]

Art career

In 1950, her painting Morning Star Ceremony, submitted under the name "M. Riding Inn", received a prize of $150 in the Indian Annual's Plains division.[6]

Mameah taught metalworking at Pawnee Nation College. She won numerous honors throughout her career, and in 2007 was named the Honored One of the Red Earth Festival.[4] Morning Star Ceremony is owned by the Philbrook Museum of Art.[2]
