Indian and the Puritan, Marble sculpture in Washington Park, Newark, United States
The Indian and the Puritan monument features a 22-foot bronze lamp standard with two carved marble figures representing different cultural backgrounds.
Gutzon Borglum created this memorial in 1916 to commemorate Newark's 250th anniversary, marking the relationship between Native Americans and European settlers.
The monument presents two distinct figures side by side, reflecting the complex interactions between indigenous peoples and colonial settlers in early American history.
Located opposite 5 Washington Street at the Newark Public Library, the sculpture received National Register of Historic Places designation in October 1994.
The structure incorporates Newark's city seal and combines both marble and bronze materials in its construction, with the figures mounted on a lamp standard.
