Chief Standing Bear

Gallery, Monuments / Large Works, Native American / American West, Portraits

Standing Bear successfully argued in court in 1879 in Omaha that Native Americans are “persons within the meaning of the law”. Upon the installation of this sculpture in 2019, Benjamin became the only living artist to have three sculptures in the National Statuary Hall.
