The chopper is going to be a showpiece displayed at the Soaring Eagle through August, said Mike Dini, advertising and public relations manager for the casino.

The motorcycle is equipped with birch bark paint, rims resembling dream catchers, feathers, a seat woven with baskets, a Soaring Eagle image on the back and a 100-inch Indian motor."

That is an interesting comment you make about stereotypical. It is true that certain images can now be linked to represent the Indian. Like the Bonnet of the prairies. Here is a symbol that is unmistakable Indian but yet is significant to only a few Tribes. It's like the Karl May view on Indians, that Noble Savage image.
