When our friend Rose was here a few weeks ago we all went to The National Museum of the American Indian. This rather magnificent statue, is called 'Allies in War, Partners in Peace' and was created by Utah Sculptor Edward Hlavka. General George Washington, Chief Oskanondohna (Chief Shenandoah), and Polly Cooper are portrayed here and it tells of a fascinating story, which I will tell you more about in a later post.

is a great sculpture. I learned a lot bout the Indian history while we were on our tour bus in USA. It is a fascinating history and also an embarrassing one similar to our treatment of aboriginals in the early days.
Really looking forward to that story.
This really is a beautiful statue. You've really photographed it beautifully.
It's a fine sculpture... such attention to detail. Looking forward to reading more about it.
That is a wonderful piece of art.
So happy to have internet access again:) Hope all is well.
That is gorgeous. What wonderful lifelike details.

Nice shot of the neat statue. I love Native American history and am looking forward to the story.
Wonderful artwork!
Really lovely
I love that museum. It had many things that here in Arizona we see all the time so it was fun to walk through. The statue is incredible.
yes...quite beautiful
Could this be similar to Chief Seattle's letters? It was considered questionable yet I still use and get inspired by it a lot! Maybe I should use it for my TF entry this weekend.
I also hope you are doing well with your Pa-in-law. This also reminds me about a concept I did years ago: "who is taking care of the caregiver?" inspired at the moment I took care of my bedridden parents between work. It was both tiring and loving moments. Enjoy yours!
Have a meaningful week, Denise!
And good wishes for the rest of your family!
And lastly, bless you for feeding the squirrels!
