A 6-foot, 3,500-pound white marble sculpture created by renowned Apache artist Allan Houser is headed to the new National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

"Comrade in Mourning" will be part of a 160-piece exhibit of Houser's that will run until September 2005. Houser died in 1994.

Haskell Indian Nations University is loaning the statue to NMAI for the year. The tribal college commissioned Houser for the work, which was his first large-scale public sculpture.
