Artist Woody Crumbo was a member of the Potawatomi tribe, a group of people indigenous to the land near the Great Lakes. Historically, the Potawatomi people believed that the land belonged to all living things, including the horses and prairie dog depicted here. The Potawatomi people were eventually moved by the United States government to present-day Kansas, and many still live near Topeka today.
