End of the Trail, Large Bronze on Black Marble Base

End of the Trail has endured to become one of the most recognizable images in the United States.

Fraser intended the work as a pointed commentary on the damaging effects of Euro-American settlement on American Indian nations confined on government reservations. Seated upon a windblown horse, Fraser's figure slumps over despondently, embodying the physical exhaustion and suffering of a people forcefully driven to the end of the trail.

Later, however, some Indigenous people have come to look on it as “a warrior who is taking a break before getting back up again. There is a degree of lament, but there is also a strong sense of honor and determination.”

Fraser chose to portray the Native American peoples in a trans-formative way: of proud, spiritual people making their way into the next century.
