Harvey Pratt, Who Designed the Native American Veterans Memorial, Dies at 84
Harvey Pratt, a self-taught Native American artist whose talents found broad expression as a forensic artist for law enforcement agencies and as the designer of the National Native American Veterans Memorial on the Mall in Washington, died on Dec. 31 at his home in Guthrie, Okla., north of Oklahoma City. He was 84.
The cause was stomach cancer, his son Nathan said.
Mr. Pratt spent 45 years working for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, where his murals adorn the walls of its headquarters. His sketches, airbrushed photographs and facial reconstructions of homicide victims were used in high-profile cases, including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and efforts to identify victims of serial killers like Ted Bundy and the Green River Killer in Washington State.
