 This
unique oil painting "Canku Sica" was done by Minnesota artist Parker
McDonald. Canku Sica means "Bad Road".
The painting depicts the effort to protect sites sacred to the Dakota
people and other Native Americans.
The portrait is of Chief Little Crow, Taoyate Dute (His Red Nation),
who was one of the leaders of the Dakota Uprising of 1862. Right
below Chief Little Crow are Coldwater Spring, which was not only
part of the birthplace of the Dakota Nation, but also the birthplace
of Minnesota, and Minnehaha Falls. The four oak leaves represent
the Four Sacred Oak Trees that were lost to build a road. The medicine
wheel in the center represents the four directions and also the
four colors of man who came together to try to stop the road. The
figures on the bottom represent the occupation encampment that lasted
from August 10, 1998 to December 11, 1999, when the Four Sacred
Oak Trees were cut down. There will be 550 signed and numbered prints
made from this painting to be sold for $50.00 each.
