Artist Mary Michael used a beautiful model for her sculpture she created to honor Sacajawea.  Her momentous sculpture graces the front of The Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks, Mt.  The moment I told her I'd like to do a painting showing an angle of her sculpture, she said, "of course you can".  Her kind altruism shocked me and restored my faith in artists who encourage others. Thank you, Mary, for your generosity.  And thanks to our Agaidika friends

A Harrison Peace Medal similar to this one was auctioned in New York a few years ago. Such medals were given in order to curry favor and remind the Natives the government in Washington expected co-existence and acquiescence. President Harrison had little real regard for Native Americans, they were just something in the way of the agenda, that Manifest Destiny was justified and inevitable.
