Several of their paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, IN and the Booth Western Art Museum in Georgia, in addition to being featured in numerous government buildings, National Park Service Visitor Centers, Colonial Williamsburg, and Mount Vernon. As for Robert Griffing who paints the Native Americans of the Great Lakes and Eastern Woodlands, his work has been included in educational packages, TV historical documentaries, the covers of dozens of books and national magazines, and Native American museums and cultural centers, including the 2007 exhibition "Emissaries of Peace", at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.
