All dimensions should be listed as fractions! 6 3/8 x 6 x 6 inches Description describe the object Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem The Song of Hiawatha (1885), Paul Manship created this bronze sculpture of Mudjekeewis stealing the Belt of Wampum from Mishe-Mokwa, the Great Bear of the mountains. Manship represents Mudjekeewis as a Native American man wearing a necklace of bear claws and a full headdress of eagle feathers. A bear sits on Mudjekeewis' right with his head bowed down. Descending from a cloud Mudjekeewis holds a club in his proper right hand as his proper left hand grips the belt around the bear's neck. A cube of marble supports the sculpture. Exhibition Label Copy the most recent text made for a exhibition didactic label In Ojibwe lore the west wind - Mudjekeewis (from the Anishinaabe majiikiwis "first-born son") - is associated with the season of autumn and symbolized by the bear. When the west wind blows, it represents a time of strength and maturity born of knowing yourself and your responsibilities. Manship likely modeled his figure of Mudjekeewis from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's well-known epic poem The Song of Hiawatha (1855). In Chapter Two, Mudjekeewis becomes Father of the Four Winds by stealing the Belt of Wampum from the neck of Mishe-Mokwa, the Great Bear of the mountains. Longfellow's much-maligned epic poem should be understood as a work of American Romantic literature, not as a record or representation of Native American oral tradition.

Manship Rights Statement In Copyright Notes Include any additional information pertaining to the object. In a letter written to Ben Storey on January 27, 1965, Manship wrote: "I have recently made a sketch as the result of getting out a copy of Longfellow and re-reading a passage of Hiawatha. It is of the old grandfather, Mudjekeewis, the West Wind, who stole the sacred belt of Wampum from the neck of Mishe-Mokwa, the Great Bear of the Mountains--the bear is droopy coming out of hibernation and from a cloud comes the mighty Mudjekeewis to steal the belt--This works well in the sculptural composition which I have done at small size in wax and is now being translated into metal---but would it not be appropriate for your group to stand at heroic size over-looking the mighty river--from where the Indian Mounds rise?"
