Judy says:
Have original painting in my place in West Texas. This is one of my earlier paintings using the red lighting, shooting for realism.

Very important, this man was, he being the spokesman of the Northern Cheyenne, of about 100 Indians. Scars from sun dances on his body, reflected all of his total giving to human beings, and his people. Much negotiations until he surrendered at Fort Robinson to General Nelson A. Miles, who then took all their people to the Sioux reservation.
