| "Hopi Maiden"
Approximately 24"tall, this maiden wears a
traditional Hopi dress. This dress is woven of handspun natural
cotton. She also wears a Manta over her shoulders made of
handspun natural cotton in off-white with black and red stripes on
each end. Around her neck is a coral necklace. Her
earrings are made of crushed corral. She is wearing a squash
blossom hairstyle, signifying her unmarried status. Her
moccasins are made of tanned deer hide.
In the Hopi culture it is the man's
responsibility to do all the weaving for his family. They
gathered the cotton, carded it and spun it into thread. The
women dyed it in bold colors of yellow, orange, green, black and red
extracted from native plants.

| "CHEYENNE HONOR"
This formidable Northern Cheyenne warrior has
achieved a very honorable Accomplishment, he has returned from battle
with the weapons of his enemy, the same weapons that were used against
him. He has captured the U.S. Cavalry belt and saber and therefore
is titled "Cheyenne Honor".
The clothing reproduced on this sculpture,
moccasins, leggings and war shirt, were taken from a private collection
in Jackson Hole, WY. The different design elements used by the
Cheyenne all had meaning. The black square patterns that appear on
the saber and on the ends of the beaded strips on the shirt are known as
"Man Power" symbols as are the long blue patterns that
are tipped with red beads on the war shirt. The patterns that
appear in the beadwork around the outside edge of the moccasins as well
as on the bottom of the leggings are "Man" symbols. Both
"Man Power" and "Man" symbols would not appear on
women's clothing. Also on the leggings are symbols sacred to the
Northern Cheyenne, the "Dragonfly" and the "Morning
Star".
"Cheyenne Honor" is an edition of
24, the bronze is 33 1/2" high X 11 3/4" wide X 12 1/2"
deep.
