Song of
the Sioux Kit-Fox Society
I am the Kit-Fox I live in uncertainty If there is anything Difficult If there is anything Dangerous to do That is mine |
| This extremely intricate and
finely detailed large sculpture was the Best of
Show/Bronze winner at the National Western Art Show in Ellensburg, WA,
May 1996. One can almost feel the wind blowing through the multitude of
feathers and scalp locks as the warrior walks along carrying the prized
bow-lance. Thomas E. Mails describes this warrior in his writings as follows, "To be invested with the bow-lance was a great, but challenging honor for its four carriers were men who were expected to take their places unflinchingly in the front line of every battle and to seek to count coup with the bow." |
