DESCRIPTIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHS SENT TO DR. COLE May 14, 1930 ***** "CHILDREN OF THE SUN" (Oil - 24"x 36") High on the rimrocks overlooking Milk River, the body of “Run- ning Wolf” was placed so the sun, his God, could see him when he lifted his lodge door in the morning and the last thing at night as he lighted his evening fires and wrapped himself in his robe for the night. “Running Wolf’s” best war horse sleeps under the ledge in readiness to carry the warrior’s spirit on into shadowland. His finest robes and “medicine” are on the tripod at his head. He was a child of the sun; that is good. The heart of“Running Wolf” sleeps. His shadow will go on. But he is not forgotten, as the woman who sits beside him(his wife) with their child has come to his resting place to tell the sun of her great sorrow! Her heart is on the ground. The sun has not found the way to shine into it and heal it but the hurt cannot last because Nature loves her children. The little boy, the old horse and the soft prairie winds all seem to whisper, “Be brave, sad on. Your man’s heart sleeps but his spirit has gone on to the land of Shadow Buffalo and good grass, cool, clear water and plenty of wood. Look up! Don’t look down! - - and your heart will be healed.” ****** “CARSON’S MEN” (oil – 24” x 36” They are free trappers, romance-makers or forerunners of civilization in our West. ****** [Transcribed by Jennifer McKinney, 2014-02-10]
