Roger A. McKinney (aka Sinnagwin) 

I am a member of the Kickapoo Nation of Kansas and I am also known by my traditional American Indian name of Sinnagwin, which I sign my artwork.  I received my B.A. Degree from Graceland University, Lamoni, Iowa and my M.F. A. from the AmericanUniversity in Washington, D.C.  I started selling my artwork by the time I was in Junior High School and have shown my work throughout the United States and now have my work in several public places, CD covers, posters, and collections.

My work can befound in the Prophets Town Museum, Minnietrista Cultural Center, Los Dos Molinos Restaurant, and Arizona Community Foundation, to name a few.

I have been a guest lecturer, presenter, and artist in residence in several places throughout the U.S.  I have been involved with American Indian Education for the most part of the past twenty years throughout the U. S.

I started in the American Indian Programs at SCC in 1996 as a Program Advisor and then moved to the position of Interim Director of American Indian Programs in fall 2000.  In the fall of 2001 I moved into the SCC Art Department, in the faculty in progress program. I was hired as a new Residential Art Faculty in the fall of 2002 at SCC where I now reside.  One of the things I love the most is teaching in the classroom and helping other students achieve their dreams.
