Carol Cadue is the daughter of Kickapoo Tribal Chairman Steve Cadue. The sculpture was part of a two-year project sponsored by the Salina Arts and Humanities Commission. Sculpture was meant to be part of a series of "indigenous women in their homelands." The sculpture was created using techniques of burning and mowing, without plowing. In the fall of 1992, the artist and volunteers hand-planted 450 yellow cornflowers in the crescent moon behind the profile of the sculpture to complement the 250 yellow penstemon growing along the line of the profile.
