Hoxovestave ("Journey Across Country") - Denver, CO - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"The piece is called Hoxovestave, which means "Journey Across Country," and it is really about movement and traveling, which is what life was about for my tribe in the old days. It's also about my life in that I traveled a lot growing up, and I continue to travel, but I always have and always will consider the Northern Cheyenne reservation my home. So with the idea of travel in mind I decided to use the travois structure as one of the central motifs. The piece is made up of two thirty-five foot long, fourteen-inch thick lodgepole pine travois supported by a steel I-beam tree form. Each of the travois carries a different, I don't want to say symbol, identifier of both Northern and Southern Cheyennes and Arapahos. One travois points north to honor the northern groups and one points southeast to honor the southern groups. The tree supporting the travois represents the knowledge and history that supported the existence of our two groups and brought them together as allies."
