Fine-Day Part lll
Diamond Resin Series Limited Edition
Fine-Day, a respected Plains Cree warrior, led his people in the Battle of Cut Knife fought on May 2, 1885. With only about 60 Cree and Assiniboine warriors, they faced a Canadian force of 350 soldiers, armed with cannons and a Gatling gun. Fine-Day skillfully used the terrain, scattering his warriors in small groups to create the illusion of a much larger force. This clever tactic led to the eventual retreat of the Canadian troops.
The two yellow stars beside Fine-Day symbolize the belief many Indigenous Nations have that human beings come from the stars, reflecting a deep spiritual connection between the Earth, The Sun and the universe.
Later in life Fine-Day became a very wise elder, a medicine man and a very powerful spiritual leader for his people.
The Wild West

A true warrior is not defined merely by physical strength or sharp instincts. A warrior cultivates his mind to align with his spirit, gaining the vision to see beyond the illusions of the world. From the perspective of a lone warrior, his enemies stand before him, yet he does not falter. With unwavering resolve, he sings his death song, fully embracing his fate.
When overrun by the enemy, the Dog Soldiers did not retreat in fear. Instead, they would stake their sashes into the ground with an arrow, a final act of defiance and dedication. They sang their way home to the Creator, ensuring a good death—a death marked by courage, selflessness, and service to the people. For in warrior traditions, death is not an end but merely a transition, as much a part of the eternal cycle as birth.
Fear has no place in the warrior’s heart, for it is seen as an illusion. Each challenge, each trial, is a part of the spiritual journey, guiding the warrior through this physical realm toward higher understanding. Every fate encountered is an opportunity to transcend, fulfilling one’s sacred purpose as spiritual beings walking this earth.
Geronimo
Diamond Resin Series Limited Edition
Apache warriors are honored for the courage of their nations which fought with unparalleled bravery against the United States between 1849 and 1886, when Geronimo surrendered, and to a lesser extent for another 38 years after. The tendrils of lightning encasing the warriors are a depiction of how the first peoples saw the lethal power of gunfire that struck men dead with a thunderous flash. The serpent with the many tentacles strangling Geronimo and piercing through the skin of the Apache warriors depicts the mass genocide inflicted by the US.
The Apache helicopter, the most lethal helicopter in the world, was named after the Apache Warriors for their ferocity in battle. Some of the weapons used by the Apache warriors have been adopted by the US military such as the Tomahawk and several combat knives. And as early as 1940, American paratroopers of all ancestries adopted “Geronimo” as a battle cry for jumping into combat.
Today the Apache warrior tradition continues as a proud and disproportionate number of patriotic Apache men and women who serve in the American military. For this reason the red, white, and blue of the American flag appears in the background—a flag countless Apache veterans have heroically fought under for nearly a century.
