This is a symbolic painting, rather than a piece depicting a specific person or event. This Piegan warrior, holding a spear with a raven feather attached, is wearing a talisman with Sun and Moon and ermine tail and a golden eagle feather on his hair. He rides a war horse and thunder clouds are moving into the west in the background. With great pride, he is looking at the eastern horizon where the white men coming from. What is in his mind? I intend to leave this question with the viewer. - ZSL
