Woodrow "Woody" Crumbo (January 21 1912 – April 4 1989) was a Native American artist, flautist, dancer and prospector born of the Potawatomi tribe whose paintings are exhibited in a number of prominent museums, including the Smithsonian Institute and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A 1978 inductee into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Crumbo became an "ambassador of good will" for Oklahoma in 1982 under appointment by Governor George Nigh.
While studying art, Crumbo supported himself as a Native American dancer, touring reservations across the United States in the early 1930s disseminating and collecting traditional dances. His art career was cemented when his teacher from the Chilocco Indian School sold a number of his painting to the San Francisco Museum of Art. Subsequently, Crumbo joined the Bacone College in Muskogee as "director of art" from 1938-1941 and a few years later curated a collection of Native American art at the Thomas Gilcrease Institute in Tulsa.
