The Indian Women's Pocahontas Club, "LADIES, LEADERS, AND LEGACIES" exhibit opened recently at the Claremore Museum of History, Claremore, Oklahoma. Included in the exhibit is a bust of Wilma Mankiller sculpted by Gary Henson, 2nd generation Artist. The Wilma Mankiller bust was unveiled at the recent gala with her daughter present for the unveiling. Gary Henson is also known for the Five Moons statues at the Tulsa Garden Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma that he sculptured.
