Brian Tozer (b.1944). Many Horses Dakota Sioux, stoneware clay, leather, mounted, 80cm.
Tozer was commissioned to undertake a series of Native American sculptures, taken from period photographs, for the UK and Canadian market in 1999/2000. The clay was fired to 1240 degrees and his wife, Sally, undertook the leatherwork.
Many Horses is credited with the following quote
"I will follow the white man's trail. I will make him my friend, but I will not bend my back to his burdens. I will be cunning as a coyote. I will ask him to help me understand his ways, then I will prepare the way for my children. Maybe they will outrun the white man in his own shoes.
There are but two ways for us. One leads to hunger and death, the other leads to where the poor white man lives. Beyond is the happy hunting ground where the white man cannot go."
