On the right side of the canvas Osage Chief Little Bear waves to Dr. T. Blakeslee, a physician responsible for much of the peacefulness between the two cultures."The post office was deemed significant " for its historical association with the Treasury Department's Section program and for the artistic significance of the mural that it contains."
