This awesome 44 foot sculpture was designed by well known Native American artist Blackbear Bosin. The Keeper of the Plains was Bosins gift to the city of Wichita in 1974. It was placed at the confluence of the Little and Big Arkansas Rivers. This spot was considered a sacred site by many Native Americans, including the Wichita tribe. A ring of fire was recently added when the sculpture was placed on a 30 foot pedestal.
