The Promised Land, Bronze sculpture in Chapman Square, Portland, United States
The bronze sculpture depicts a pioneer family consisting of a father, mother, and son positioned together with a wagon wheel and rifle in the scene.
Created by David Manuel in 1993, the sculpture commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail and represents settlers from the year 1843.
The Portland Art Commission initiated discussions about the sculpture's representation, noting its focus on white settlers excluded other communities present in Oregon.
The sculpture measures 10 feet by 5.5 feet and underwent removal from public display in 2020 during the George Floyd protests.
The Mellon Foundation granted funds to Portland and Lewis & Clark College in 2023 to examine potential restoration of this and other removed statues.
