Life
He became famous for his work promoting the Glacier National Park for the Great Northern Railway.[1]: 222 He claimed to be the model for the profile on the Indian head nickel. However, the sculptor, James Earle Fraser, said that the image he used was a composite of several people.[2]: 141 Two Guns White Calf's image was used as the basis for the Washington Redskins logo, which Walter Wetzel created in 1971. The logo was used until 2020.
