Bear Man by Ginny Schmidt

Bear Man by

I found a statuary garden today filled with wonderful figures. This Native American looks all geared up for either hunting or making war, wearing his bear head and claws. Can anyone tell me what tribe this gentleman might be from? It would be nice to know more about the history of his people … before and after their run-in with Manifest Destiny.

    this is really a nice peice of art,i am a collector of navite american items,i have a few books written by the native americans,i will try to find out which he might have been a group of, sometimes however they are not accurate depictions of the real native american!

  • Thanks very much. Most people think of the western U.S. in relation to Native Americans, but there were plenty of interesting eastern tribes. They were the
    ones who met the boat, so I guess they either moved west or died off first.
