Description: The eight-foot-tall bronze statue represents a Native American figure, firmly connected to the land, yet facing the impact of a formidable and unfamiliar culture. Today, The Guardian of the Grove serves as a poignant reminder of our recent history. It pays homage to the enduring spirit of Native American communities that have resisted fading into oblivion. Furthermore, it presents a call to action for future generations to safeguard our heritage. Sculptor Thomas Mark Sampsel generously contributed his skills and time to craft this statue for the city of Council Grove.
