It's an outdoor piece that is almost entirely steel.
It was manufactured locally by North Shore Steel.
I was always told by my family, You're related to Princess Madeline.
I didn't realize it was actually true until about, I don't know, maybe 20 years ago when I got a some papers about it.
So to have this sculpture incorporated with my family's history is such a blessing and such an honor to represent the Native American community.
