DAVE MCGARY NOT AFRAID OF PAWNEE (Padani Kokip S’ni) Warrior Series Not Afraid of Pawnee, a Yankton Sioux, lived in the late 1800’s. Known for his great prowess and courage as a warrior, he successfully led his warriors against the fierce Pawnee. He is depicted wearing his Timber Wolf headdress which exemplified craft in war. He is carrying a Spencer Rifle with brass trade tacks encased in a beaded Sioux gun case. His war bonnet, with spiked feathers of the Golden Eagle, is considered sacred and must never touch the ground. His face paint of black coloring symbolizes the fires of revenge burned out of his soul and the color red, the power he uses from Mother Earth. MAQUETTE/ARTIST’S COPY BRONZE WITH PATINA AND PAINT EDITION OF 50 SCULPTED IN 1996 |
