Images of Seminole healer Susie Billie and her apprentice Mary Johns

Date: 1995
Description: One proof sheet with 35 black and white images (plus negatives). Images of Billie and Johns at Billie's home on the couch.

The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller, and then Robert Stone. The program was continued each year through 2004.
