This five-ton, 44-foot-tall steel sculpture is the most recognizable landmark in Wichita, the Heart of the Country, and is one of the region’s most photographed pieces of public art. The majestic work by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin stands in downtown Wichita, where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers join. Everyone gathers near the Keeper during its nightly Ring of Fire ceremony, watching as five fire drums illuminate the statue and the water below. It’s also a spectacular view at sunrise and sunset.
