Hunting Son

signed lower right
According to Sharp scholar Forrest Fenn, “Sharp was considered ‘Big Medicine’ and given freedom to roam the pueblo, observing ceremonies that few white men had ever seen; he was even permitted into the kivas, the sacred religious chambers where non-Indians are almost never allowed.
“Sharp’s friendships with the Pueblo Indians were lasting ones. One of those friends was Soaring Eagle, who was Sharp’s first Southwestern Indian model. Soaring Eagle prided himself on his hunting ability and took great pains to instruct his son, John Gomez, who learned quickly and developed a skill over the years that equaled that of his father. As a consequence, he was named ‘Hunting Son’ (Chúyah) and posed for his father’s old friend many times.’”
