The art was made by Stephen Grounds.
His plan was for this mural to wrap around the entire school.
He wanted to honor the children of Concho and the heroes that mean so much to them.
He also wanted to challenge himself to paint on such a large scale.

Depicted on the school and throughout this gallery are Sitting Bull,
Woody Crumby, Mallory Taylor, Adam Fortunate Eagle and Susan Shawn Harjo, who won the Presidential Medal Of Freedom in 2014.
I love the fact that he interspersed the children's portraits with them.

His plan is to eventually turn the school into a gallery for Indian art so that
the children of the Concho School will have a place to be remembered.
