From the Argus Leader:
quote:
A painting by Oglala Lakota artist Don Montileaux is being dedicated today as part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

The work, titled "Looking Beyond One's Self," has hung at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City since it was commissioned by the school in 1994.


According to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology:
quote:
The original painting flew aboard the March 1995 STS-67 NASA mission of the space shuttle Endeavor. The Endeavor was also the shuttle, which took the first American Indian Astronaut Commander John Herrington, "to the stars" on November 22, 2002.
The school is offering signed prints and note cards of the painting, which depicts "three American Indians looking beyond the immediate horizon and toward a vision of the future," to support K-12 American Indian educational programming.
