In Their Names

Artist Bently Spang’s documentation of a single horseback rider, the artist’s father Zane Spang, in an act of honoring his Tsitsistas/Suhtai (a.k.a. Northern Cheyenne) relatives both past and present on the 146th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.  In so doing, his father rekindles a memorial horseback ride to the Little Bighorn Battlefield done for many years by his family to honor a fallen relative killed at the original battle on June 25, 1876. The artist adds a fresh and controversial perspective to the dialogue around one of the most mysterious battles in North American history.
