Nin-na-stako: Chief Mountain is well constructed of recycled materials and remnants from the flood of June 8, 1964. Old rusted barbed wire was used for the tail and mane of the horses. The base is made from sandstone harvested from the Two Medicine Catholic Mission which was built in the late 1800's.
There are two Native American warriors on horseback with Chief Mountain in the background. There are four Warrior sculptures, one at each entrance to the Blackfoot Nation.
Nin-na-stako was created by Jay Laber born in the Blackfoot reservation in Northwest Montana and is currently a teacher at Salish Kootenai College in Pablo, Montana.
