At the 1893 Chicago World Fair, her painting of the crying Indian baby called "Little Mendocino" received so much attention that she decided to specialize in Indian themes, and she spent most of the rest of her life actively participating in Indian cultures. The Grace Carpenter Hudson Museum houses the 30,000 Indian objects she and her husband collected.
