A Kansas limestone relief sculpture by Cherokee sculptor Eddie Morrison portrays the variety of cultures that have occupied and influenced this area. From Native Americans to early pioneers, farmers, and adventurers, these groups shared the same land, work ethic, concern for family, and belief in divine influence. A central theme holds that spirit, prayers, and hopes are carried on the wings of the soaring eagle. Jesse Chisholm, founder of the Chisholm Trail and the son of a Cherokee-European union, represents cultural blending and understanding. As each generation passes, Americans are called to reflect on their differences and stand in wonder of their many similarities.
