The Sculpture at the River Market board of directors selected Courage to Lead by Denny Haskew for their growing public art collection. We have loved working with Little Rock for the last 2 decades placing diverse work in style and subject, and look forward to seeing these in place.
About the sculpture:
The Society of the Sacred Arrow existed among many of the Plains Indian tribes. Among other tribes, the Crow, the Arapaho and the Cheyenne were known to perform the Sacred Arrow Ceremony.
The night prior to a raiding party, war party or some equally important event, the tribe would gather around the pow wow circle with much chanting and singing. The members would rush out into the center of the ring and together shoot straight into the sky. Then with a show of bravery and courage, they would stand still as the falling shafts came back to earth. Each member was unafraid because of his strong belief in his spiritual protection. This was a great morale boost to the tribe members in attaining success on the next day's venture. This display of courage by the members of the Sacred Arrow Society often placed them in the role as leaders of other warriors.
This image was introduced in May of 1993 and has won the the Western Regional Show, Cheyenne, WY, the People's Choice Award at Hillside Sculpture Invitational, and the Sculpture Award at the Red Earth Invitational Art Show. The study for the monument sold out almost immediately. In 1997 enough of Denny's patrons requested he do the image at a maquette scale which is offered in a limited edition of 20 with one remaining.
