Billy Mills Middle School Mural

Donation protected
The proposed project is a colorful, large-scale art creation which will  measure 5’ x 33’ which will be created in the commons area of Billy Mills Middle School.  We have commissioned Isaiah Tasunke Wamniomni Luta (Red Whirlwind Horse) Stewart to create the mural.

Isaiah is a Lakota/Mohawk artist and is a member of the Lawrence community. He attended Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas. His mural will reflect Billy Mills’s contributions to the Lawrence Community and the United States of America. His vision portrays Billy Mills’s journey from boyhood, winning an Olympic gold medal and his  current contributions to society. The mural will promote local talent and will have a lasting effect on the students, staff and community.

The true purpose of the mural will be to create conversations, build connections and foster the importance of Native contributions to the Lawrence community and the further, spreading across the globe.

The mural will reflect community pride and community culture while enhancing the commons area of Billy Mills Middle School
