The Allan Houser Foundation of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is trying to save a mural painted by the famous artist from being destroyed.

The mural is located in the gymnasium of the old Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, Utah. The entire school property has been purchased by a private developer, who is destroying all the buildings to make way for housing.

The Foundation has written several lawmakers, Governor Mike Leavitt, the Smithsonian National Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian, seeking support for saving the 6-foot by 12-foot mural.

Houser was Chiricahua Apache. He died in 1994.
