Adee Dodge was the grandson of the first Navajo Tribal Chairman, Chee Dodge. He studied at the University of New Mexico and received a master's degree from Columbia University in Comparative Linguistics and Anthropology. He started painting while recovering from war wounds he received while serving in the South Pacific during World War II. A self-taught painter, he focused his work on preserving the symbols and stories of the Navajo Religion. His work has been featured in Arizona Highways and at the Smithsonian.
