In 1915 James Earle Fraser, a White American artist, unveiled his plaster sculpture of an exhausted Native American slumped over his horse titled "End of the Trail" for San Francisco’s Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Immediately admired, the image was broadly reproduced in multiple forms and became one of the most recognizable symbols of the American West. Though Fraser never gave his own interpretation of the work of art, popular understanding has accepted it as a memorial for the original inhabitants of North America.
