Richard V. Greeves believed that his artistic vision was shaped by a trip he took when he was 15 years old to Fort Washakie on the Wind River Indian Reservation. On that trip, albeit a brief one, he spent time with an indigenous family and that experience left an impression on his young mind that would last a lifetime.
 
Greeves returned to those same Wind River Mountains after graduation and spent the next five decades with the northern Plains Indians living on the reservation. “A lot of artists think you can know the Indian by coming out here on weekends, but you can’t. You’ve got to love and hate with them,” said Greeves. “There’s magic for me here. I just feel it, the same feelings I had when I first came here as a kid.  
 
Greeves’ bronze sculpture In the Land of the Water People won the Prix de West Purchase Award in 1977. In 2000, he received the Prix de West James Earle Fraser Sculpture Award, and he designed the 1998 Prix de West collector’s bolo. He also won many awards over the years at the Masters of the American West Show at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, California.
Greeves’ monumental bronzes can also be found scattered around the campus and throughout the galleries of all five buildings of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
