The Keeper of the Plains, the top attraction in Wichita

The Keeper of the Plains is the icon of Wichita. Commissioned to be built as a beautification project in the 1960's, construction was completed in 1974. The Keeper of the Plains faces the rising sun, which is of importance to the Native American culture. There are several subtle features around the Keeper of the Plains; the bridges that connect visitors to the the sculpture were made to look like a bow and arrow; its location is at the confluence of the Little Arkansas River and Arkansas River where legend has it, this was a popular hunting area. bit.ly/2VwqAkU
