Story Summary:
At the age of six, Glen Tutterrow found an arrowhead in his father’s Missouri farm field. Ever since he has felt a spiritual connection and a burden to American Indians. As an Evangelical Christian, Glen is using his taxidermy and sculpting craft to complete a 35-foot tall monument to honor Cuba’s Native Osage Nation.

After creating molds from his clay models, Glen scales layers to keep the final cold–rolled steel sculpture in proportion. Glen says that Osage women would rub paste made from the local red rock into the parts of their hair to have the sun bless them throughout the day. The color of that paste mimics the oxidized finish of Glen’s monument.





After speaking to two interested tourists about the monument, Glen takes their portrait with their cell phone.

Glen plays with his grandson outside of his metal working shop.
