Skedee, Oklahoma - Chief Baconrind and Colonel Walters I have visited [the Bond of Friendship Monument] many times, mainly to show business associates and friends something of the past that means a lot to me. I am the great grandson of Chief Bacon Rind and I get pleasure in sharing some history with associates. During the June dances in Pawhuska, I honor his memory by dancing with his silver arm bands, his coup stick and eagle feathers, and a brass engraved scarf slide. Each year I usually take anywhere from 2-10 people in my pickup to the hill where he is buried so they can see the memorial statue standing about 12' tall. I call it the Bacon Rind hill and that is where I want my ashes scattered. [Thomas S BaconRind, 06/15/2008]
Skedee - Pawnee, Oklahoma - Chief Baconrind Friendship Monument After attending the Pawnee, OK, Steam Show on the first weekend of May...don't forget to travel the extra 9 miles if "inspirational" local sculpture is your forte. We stumbled across a monument in the middle of the main intersection of Skidee, Oklahoma depicting the bond of friendship between Col. Walters and Chief Baconrind. Emotional, if not a bit grotesque.
