Public sculptures in many North American cities express traditional and modern aspects of American-Indian life.
For example, Marvin Oliver, whose ancestors include members of the Quinault Indian nation in the pacific Northwest, has fashioned several large public works.
His Eagle Bearing Wealth is an eight-foot tall column of Douglas fir carved and painted to resemble a totem pole traditional among Indians of the Northwest Coast.
It stands on the campus of North Seattle Community College in Seattle, Washington. In a public park in Seattle, Remington Court Park, Oliver's Spirit of Our Youth depicts the dorasl fin of an orca whale in a massive bronze form 26 feet tall.
More controversial are works of Hachivi Edward Heap of Birds.
His work Wheel outside the Denver Art Museum in Colorado incorporates 12 Y-shaped columns of red porcelain arranged in a circle near a curved wall carved with the names of 97 Indian families killed in a massacre in the 1860s.
The public display of names is a hallmark of Heap of Birds work.
On the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis, his Building Minnesota is an array of 40 simple white alumminum signs, each of which bears, in red lettering, the English and Dakota-language name of an Indian hung in Minnesota during the 1860s by order of the president of the United States
