Born on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in north central Montana in 1937, George P. Horse Capture, a member of the A'aninin tribe, was raised by his grandmother. He graduated from High School in 1956, and served for four years in the U.S. Navy. Horse Capture earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley in 1974 and a Master of Arts degree in History from Montana State University, Bozeman, in 1979. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Montana State University in 1996. Married to Kay-Karol Horse Capture, a private art conservator, Horse Capture is the author of Powwow and a contributor to Robes of Splendor: Native North American Painted Buffalo Hides, and Warrior Artists: Historic Cheyenne and Kiowa Indian Ledger Art, among other books. He taught college classes and served as a curator for the Plains Indian Museum of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody of Wyoming for eleven years, in addition to lecturing and working as a consultant for museums and other cultural organizations around the country. He has been with the National Museum of the American Indian since 1994. He helped organize the move and opening of the NMAI in Washington, D.C.
