The American

The proposed 217-foot bronze statue depicts a Native American warrior with a bald eagle perched on his shoulder, reaching higher than the Statue of Liberty.

Artist Shan Gray originally designed the statue for the Oklahoma State Capitol dome competition in 2001 before evolving the concept into a larger monument.

The statue represents Native American heritage through its design, with the eagle's 82-foot wingspan symbolizing the connection between indigenous peoples and nature.

The construction plans include an interior observation deck, underground visitor access, and a dedicated center to maintain the natural surroundings.

Upon completion, this statue will become the largest bronze sculpture in the world, surpassing current records in both size and scale.
