Beautiful Sculpture

I think this sculpture is beautiful and unusual. I was surprise to learn that it's in Ireland and was erected to honor an American Indian Tribe. Read the story.....

Beautiful. The various other tribes have been quick to sign up for active miitary duty for the wars this nation has had. Kudos to my ancestors and relatives.

How beautiful! And I love the story behind it-the spirit of giving from kindred spirits. I'd never heard of this and thank you for posting it @Kachina624.

@Bonkers1. I wondered if it changes colors? Seems like it should.

Wow, wow and wow! Thank you so much. Not only is it touching story but absolutely one of the most beautiful, sculptures. I love it. To have so little and give so much is the true spirit of love and kindness.

@Kachina624 Stunning and full of meaning.

Some art pieces are evocative and I think this is one.

In the recent unprecedented growth in our capital city of ~500,000 (Halifax, Nova Scotia) we complain about it a lot (traffic, cranes everywhere, construction, etc) but one thing the city has done extremely well is a waterfront boardwalk that runs for miles. All along the boardwalk are art pieces that celebrate our maritime history. Some of them are especially beautiful. We are a favorite stopping place for cruise ships and this is a wonderful way to welcome them.

Thanks for posting Kachina. This one is special.

@Lilysmom1. I had no idea Halifax was that big. I'd always envisioned it as a sleepy fishing village. It must be about the size of Albuquerque and not sleepy.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for educating me with the story behind the it.

@Kachina624 No, not a sleepy fishing village but you don't have to drive far anywhere in Nova Scotia to find one. I live in a ribbon of small communities on the way to Peggy's Cove. I am 20 minutes from downtown and a half hour from Peggy's Cove. The best of both worlds.

beautiful sculpture, the colors of the rainbow 🌈 a very sad story I've heard of trail of tears before . My paternal great , great grandmother was part Indian , Mohawk Indian . My grandmother had told me many stories when I was young passed down to her .

the way American Indians were treated is appalling. They are the only actual true Americans everyone else came here from other countries originally.
