A powerful and beautiful work of art that will enhance any space James Earle Fraser grew up on the plains in Mitchell South Dakota. There he had unique encounters with pioneers hunters and fur trappers and he befriended many of the Plains Natives. He often heard stories about the doomed fate of the Native people and sympathized with their suffering as westward expansion threatened to consume their lands. The experience of watching a young man in Mitchell carve chalkstone into different forms encouraged Fraser to begin sculpting. He later acknowledged that this significantly influenced his art career. call text or email 918 902 4576
