Les Rêves Canadiens
Sitting Bull is part of the bull series. I chose to make him younger than the photo this came from.
He was quite a man. It was difficult to face him everyday. He was a chief and a medicine man. He gave away 100 pieces of flesh as a sacrifice for his people.
At a Powder River council in 1877, Sitting Bull expressed his great
love for his native soil, "a love wholly mystical," writes a biographer of
Sitting Bull. "He used to say (that) healthy feet can hear the very heart of
Holy Earth.... Up always before dawn, he liked to bathe his bare feet,
walking about in the morning dew." (McLuhan, 1971, p. 90)
The pastel was sold before I recorded information. Completed 1987.
