"Running Eagle in Battle" - Terrance Guardipee

Running Eagle depicted on horseback with bow drawn and arrow flying in the air. Featured in front of the mountains with Mother Moon & the Morning Star. Terrance's choice of vibrant colors and symbolism tell the story of this tribal leader during a pivotal moment in battle.  "Running Eagle" was a female leader and warrior amongst her tribe, the only woman to ever join the male warriors in battle living in the 18-19th century. Prior to proving herself in battle and gaining respect of the male warriors, she went by the name Brown Weasel Woman. Gaining her power from the sun, Terrance depicts her in many of his ledger pieces with unique symbolism in each.
