Benn, a member of the Birdtail Sioux community of Canada, began painting in 1996 and has made approximately 1000 paintings, including his well known "Magazine Series". This 1998 painting places Medicine Crow (warrior and grandfather to Joseph Medicine Crow) on the cover of Vanity Fair. The postcard was used to promote a traveling exhibition in Saskatchewan and was issued by the Saskatchewan Arts Board.
