I just read a little newz blurb, about a Native American Artist seeking backing to build a "21-story" (207' tall)bronze statue of a Native American warrior.

Holy Cow!!!!!

Wikipedia article about the statue, to be title "The American". Now, that is a statue I would travel to see.
(Shan)Gray, who is part Osage, has built a career on large-scale sculptures of Oklahoman sports figures such as New York Yankees pitcher Allie "Superchief" Reynolds and Heisman trophy winner Billy Vessels...
