20″ Eagle entitled Tuudi/Pursuit

20″ Replica of the Life-Size eagle Pursuit 

by Frank & Sue Entsminger

From Athapaskan Mentasta dialect where they have lived since 1977 , Tuudi is the word for “eagle” in the local Native-American language.

Together Frank & Sue worked the winter of 2022-23 everyday, putting in long hours bringing the life-size bronze eagle entitled “Pursuit” to fruition.  Since then the couple decided to do a much smaller rendition. They had a 3-D scan for the foundry to produce the smaller version. Once one was printed, Frank worked it over for the foundry to start the mold process and pour the smaller version which was completed  January 2025.
