Eenaw Kawkee
is a lovely petite bronze depicting a Blackfoot woman carrying her young
child on her back in a traditional blanket. Both she and the child
have serious expressions on their detailed faces and they are both looking
in the same direction. This lovely piece captures the essential bond
between mother and child, while hinting of something more private at play.
One is tempted to wonder if this journey that they are on is one taken by
choice.

The base measures 4" square by 2" high. About The Artist: Bob Scriver (1914-1999) was born on the Blackfoot Reservation in northwest Montana and many of his life-long companions were from that tribe. His works captured the frenzied action of cowboys, people of the Blackfoot Nation and animals of that area as seen first-hand by the artist. Educated in Browning, Montana, Mr. Scriver graduated with a Master's Degree in Music. He taught public school in Browning and Malta, Montana and was a professional musician who toured across the Northwestern United States and Canada. In 1951, Mr. Scriver added taxidermy to his list of skills and interests and developed the Museum of Montana Wildlife in Browning, Montana. His fondness for hunting provided him with an extensive base of knowledge from which to enhance and add to the veracity of his taxidermy pieces and his wildlife sculptures. Mr. Scriver did several series of sculptures including 33 works showing rodeo action and 53 pieces tracing the history of the Blackfoot Tribe, of which Eenaw Kawkee is one. His vast collection of Cowboy and Indian memorabilia was auctioned in several series of events after his death on January 29, 1999. Eenaw Kawkee.
