DescriptionA Native American man dressed in a buffalo robe and moccasins slumps forward on top of his horse. Strong winds whip at his hair and clothing and at the horse’s mane and tail, adding to their exhaustion and pushing them onward. The horse bends forward, its head drooping to the ground, echoing the downward slope of the man’s sagging spear.
