The picture above symbolized the animal the native respect the most. The museum try to represent this tent with these drawing as an act of honor and connection the people had for the animal. This animal has been a great beneficial to the people weather it was use for transportation from different location to uses of meat for the people to eat. The animal seeing themselves on the tent of the native would have probably feel appreciative that they are known for something more then just an animal.
Just as the first picture represent the animal, this picture shows how the animal were use in people's daily lives. The reason why longhorn was so beneficial was mainly because of transportation. The museum wants to display the power these animal can provide to carry large amount of items from place to place. The animal might not mine as much because even though they provide lots of work people have to treat and take care of them right so that they won't have any health problem. The animal would probably be willing too give their support as long as the longhorn themselves get treat properly.
As a long days of work for the animal, they had to take a rest and be taking care of somewhere. This shows that just like usual animal raising, they put the longhorn in an area surrounded by fences to keep the animal sub stain from running away. They still have a lot of room to run freely and still have the freedom to act the way they want. This would have made the longhorn feel grateful because they are not just being force to do work and still expect to be treated inhumanly. The animal still get their freedom to act their natural way when they are on break. All three pictures represent how the longhorn is special to these people. It also display the strong connection between man and animal.
