In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, today we spotlight Harvey Pratt.  Harvey Pratt is an Arapaho and Cheyenne artist who designed the centerpiece of the National Native American Veterans Memorial. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps for three years, including time in Vietnam. His work can be seen in the Smithsonian and National Park service. Mr. Pratt also worked for years as a forensic artist, including a project about Bigfoot!
