An Eye On The Back Tail

The constant pressure exerted on the Apache during the late 1870”s and 1880”s due to the encroachment of white pioneers, resulted in bloody wars.

The Apache conducted many raids on the “invaders”. These guerilla attacks were without warning and were generally over as quickly as they began. In the end the Apache had to go into hiding. The sculpture depicts the young brave entrusted as a sentinel, watching the “back trail”, to observe any pursuit that may be following the warriors back their lair.
