Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In my artwork, I wanted to focus on both Hiawatha’s strength as a leader and the meaning behind what he stood for. I also added a majestic bald eagle in the center because it represents freedom, vision, and spiritual strength. The eagle connects both sides of the drawing…symbolizing how Hiawatha brought people together."
