"The Thunderbird glided across the sweeping plains of the West. A harbinger
of rain and new life, the great bird was both feared and revered. The blink of
its eye could cause bolts of lightning to flash; the flap of its wings could
create thunder. It was said that a young warrior both brave and fast enough to
ride his horse under the bird's great shadow would gain sacred spiritual powers.
In the calm before the rains would fall, if you listened carefully, you could
hear singing and the music of the Great Spirit..."
"I chose the Thunderbird myth as a vehicle for this project because it evoked
images of the horse and music. The legend of the great bird is almost archetypal
throughout America."
