In 1492 Columbus described the Indigenous inhabitants as so peaceable, are these people that I swear to your Majesties there is not in the world a better nation. They love their neighbors as themselves, and their discourse is ever sweet and gentle, and accompanied with a smile and though it is true that they are naked, yet their manners are decorous and praiseworthy. In his journals Columbus wrote of the peaceful, generous nature of these Native people. In today s world there are people who recognize the good qualities that existed among the Native people before Columbus s arrival, values that still exist today. One of those people is Dave McGary. The history of Indian and U.S. governmental relations has been tumultuous and hostile. The ability to trust Non-Indians on the part of Native American peoples has been difficult. Dave was able to cross that barrier, due in part to his attention to detail and his respect for tribal culture, values and spirituality. Many Indian people believe that our people would not have survived if were not for the sacred center that exists in our ceremonies. Dave understood and was invited to participate in many tribal ceremonies as well as being adopted into a Sioux family evidence of the confidence and trust Indian people had in him.The History of Dave McGary The McGary ProcessDave McGary always worked from the inside out. He only sat down to create a sculpture after countless hours of research. In most cases, that meant traveling to distant corners of the lovely plains with tribal elders and historians, and visiting with the kinfolk of the subject. Only when he felt like he had a true sense of the person he was about to sculpt – a connection to that inner self – did his studio work begin.His first step was to build an armature, which he considered a three dimensional sketch. Using steel wire, he would craft a framework that was in reality a skeleton, the internal structure that supported everything. Even though no one would see these wire bones, McGary worked diligently to get them just right. This was where the posture and attitude, much of the spirit of the piece would be conveyed.
