Fetish Pony

To Native Americans, a fetish is any object that possesses "spirit power." They believe that when the object is treated with respect, the spirit that resides within can bring its owner good luck, good health and a harmonious life. With this in mind, Oregon painter Lynn Bean created an extraordinary "fetish pony" on which the spirit images of different horses seem to emerge from inside a sandstone carving of a host horse, who wears a "power pack" of feathers, beads and shells on its back.

Many Tribes (ceremic)

Pottery is one of the oldest art forms in the Native American culture, and each tribe has a style which is traditionally its own. Today, however, tribal potters borrow or copy designs and techniques from each other. Drawing on the diverse animal and geometric patterns found on many authentic pots, Linda, a Delaware Indian living in Las Vegas, has painted a Pony wrapped in the traditional and contemporary ceramic designs of many tribes.

Wilderness Roundup (ceremic)

The challenge of creating a wonderful work of art on a large scale, and not allowing her disability to limit her imagination, motivated Mary – wheelchair-bound after suffering a spinal injury during a gymnastics event at age 17 – to paint a pony. Hoping to communicate the “inner connection we share with all living creatures,” she rounded up “a dazzling menagerie” of animals “in a changing seasonal environment.” Over a year in the making, Mary’s painted pony is an extraordinary achievement that carries the message: “enjoy her beauty, follow your dreams, and believe in yourself.”

Viva Las Vegas

No other icon epitomizes Las Vegas like the Showgirl. Known for her incredibly elaborate, baroque but brief costumes; her ability to sing, dance and sashay across a stage in sky-high stilettos, while balancing a feathered headdress atop her head; the Showgirl is considered a piece of art or a human sculpture. Although Showgirl revues are slowly disappearing on The Strip, the Stockton, California artist who paints under the name La Marr, wanted to take us on a ride through Las Vegas entertainment history with this dazzling tribute.

Fancy Dancer

The Fancy Dance evolved from the early Plains tribe’s war and victory dances. It is an energetic style of dance, usually performed by younger men who spin, twist, and make quick steps and fast turns. Their outfits are traditionally composed of lots of bright colors, metallic beads, sequins and ribbons which create a flashy display. They have two bustles, a head roach and intricately beaded headband… all of which are faithfully and stunningly recreated on a spirited, snorting horse that is caught up in the excitement of the drum beat. This unique creation by a Virginia artist won The People’s Choice Award in the national competition, “The Native Art of Horse Painting.”

Ceremonial Pony

 The keyhole shaped ornament on the forehead was a classic Crow design, the beaded rosette surrounded with horsehair tassels and wrapped in dyed cotton string. Made to carry a short buffalo lance or captured cavalry sword, the case was fashioned out of buffalo rawhide painted with natural earth piments. Outfits similar to this are still paraded today at the fair in crow agency Montana.
