In early 2008, Miller worked on a project in La Crosse, Wisconsin for The Pump House, a regional arts center. Miller painted one of many herons that were auctioned off and placed around the city in honor of fine arts. In April 2008, his symphony, "The Last Stand" was performed as world premiere by the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra with Amy Mills conducting, along with Native American musicians and dancers. The symphony was inspired from Miller's visit of the Battle of the Little Bighorn site, when he was nine years old. Called a "symphony of hope", it deals with that battle and the reconciliation which Miller, feels must still occur and composed with Joshua Yudkin and Kristin Wilkinson. Thirty-three photos taken by David Joseph Marcou of "The Last Stand" world debut's dress-rehearsal are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.
