[[File:Sculpture- Protest of the Sioux by Cyrus E. Dallin.jpg|thumb|''[[Protest of the Sioux]]'' (1904), at the [[1904 St. Louis World's Fair]]]]
'''''Protest of the Sioux''''', also known as ''The Protest'', is a 1904 equestrian statue by [[Cyrus Edwin Dallin|Cyrus Dallin]]. It was the third in his four-piece series, ''The Epic of the Indian'', which also includes ''[[Signal of Peace|A Signal of Peace]]'' (1890), ''[[The Medicine Man (Dallin)|The Medicine Man]]'' (1899), and ''[[Appeal to the Great Spirit]]'' (1909).
The statue depicts a mounted [[Sioux]] warrior wearing a [[war bonnet]] defiantly shaking his right fist. According to [[Rell G. Francis]], it depicts "a Sioux chief vigorously protesting the confiscation of his lands and buffalo by the white man".<ref name="christies">Quoted at [https://ift.tt/2IxAD5W Cyrus Edwin Dallin (1861-1944), ''The Protest''], [[Christie's]], 2 March 2006</ref>
A monumental version made of [[Staff (building material)|staff]] was exhibited at the [[Louisiana Purchase Exposition]], held in [[St. Louis, Missouri]] in 1904, where it won a gold medal. The temporary statue was retained after the exhibition, but rapidly deteriorated. Unlike the three other statues in the series, ''Protest of the Sioux'' was never cast as a full-size bronze, so it survives only in statuette form. Bronzes high were cast by [[Gorham Manufacturing Company]] in the early 1900s, and a similar bronze is at the [[Springville Museum of Art]] in [[Springville, Utah]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/33iGyUn ''The Protest''], from SIRIS.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2IzcFH8 Protest'', 1904, Cyrus Edwin Dallin], [[Springville Museum of Art]]</ref> It was cast in 1986 from a bronze version made by Dallin in 1903 which is held by the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2OCWOLT ''The Protest''], [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]]</ref> An example of the bronze statuette was sold at [[Christie's]] in 2006 for US$36,000.<ref name="christies"/>
