A monumental tribute to all Native
Americans, this 22-foot bronze statue is of Ponca
Chief Standing Bear, created by Cowboy Artist of America,
Oreland C. Joe. The magnificent monument of Standing
Bear is majestic as a very realistic depiction of
Standing Bear - with right hand extended to the east
and his eyes, gentle and wise.
The 63-acre park encompasses
more than eight acres and includes off street parking;
a one-acre pond with central arrowhead island; a walking
trail winding through native grasses and wildflowers
to the monument site, and a shaded memorial grove
at a peaceful sitting area along the way
Lighting was designed
to create a majestic sense of drama for nighttime
enjoyment.
