SEES ENEMIES AFAR
17wx24hx13d Edition of 50
The names of the individuals
among the Plains Indians often told a story by itself. Names like “Kills in
Sight”, “Running Horse”, and “Iron Belly” (because of his Spanish armor). The
names would describe the individual or some feat or characteristic of the
person. In “Sees Enemies Afar”, I have used an 1860 army telescope that has
been captured or found and decorated with beadwork to personalize it. Using his
spyglass, he could recognize who was making the faraway dust cloud before any
other scout. His honorable headdress suggests he is very courageous and also
very wise and has perhaps foretold the coming of the White Man over many
counsel fires.
