Chickasaw Warrior - Davis, OK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Native American artist Enoch Kelly Haney is probably best known for The Guardian, the sculpture that stands atop the dome at the Oklahoma State Capitol. This bronze sculpture of a Chickasaw Warrior stands out side the Chickasaw Nation Welcome Center west of Davis. The 9' figure is an interpretation of an eighteenth century Tashka Chikasha (Chickasaw Warrior). Notable features include the roached hairstyle with pendant yaatala (feather hair ornament), bear claw inno’chi’ (necklace), tanampalhi’ micha naki’ (bow and arrows) and sholosh (Chickasaw-style pucker toe moccasins.). Photos of the sculpture under construction can be found here.
