I took a picture of the same bust when I was employed by the Veterans Affairs working on Standing Rock Reservation. When I originally took the picture, I saw only the Sitting Bull bust in the view finder. But when the picture came back, there was a bird sitting on his head.

The Native Americans I worked with felt it was a strong omen.

All I know to this day, I don't know where the bird in the picture came from.
