CHIEF SITTING BULL-
A portrait of Chief Sitting Bull, a Chief of the Sioux Nation that along with the Northern Cheyenne, were attacked by Custer's 7th Calvary and soundly defeated Custer and his force at the Battle of Little Big Horn.

The Hawk signified here on his shield is a replica of the hawk on his real shield that Sitting Bull's father made and gave him.

Over the shield top is a replica of the the Calvary Guide-on flag carried at the head of Custer's troops and captured by Sioux. Sitting Bull later returned it as he honored the fact the whites had fought with distinction.

This carving has been donated to The Native American Youth and Family Center, Portland, Oregon (NAYA). The Center may be able to obtain the equipment (benches, band saw and hand carving tools) so I can teach the Youth to carve. They would need sponsors for this program.

If you like my work and would be interested in helping make this happen email Nicole Maher (nicholem@nayapdx.org), mention you are writing about the Project for Art McKellips to Teach the Youth Carving.
