Elizabeth Willis DeHuff (1886–1983)[1] was an American painter, teacher, playwright, and children's book writer. She was an important contributor to the development of Native American easel painting in the 1920s and 1930s.[2] DeHuff is also a children's book author who writes predominantly utilizing Native American folklore and themes. Among these books are Blue-Wings-Flying[3] and TayTay's Tales.[4] In writing these children's books, and other works by her like Kaw-eh and Say the Bells of Old Missions: Legends of Old New Mexico Churches[5] that are not necessarily children's books, DeHuff is instrumental in documenting Native American folklore and providing authenticity in the telling of it. Overall, she wrote 65 works in 118 publications.[6] These other works included non children's books and periodical articles Native American, Hispanic, and New Mexico subjects.[7]
