Chief Standing Bear Statue
Standing on Centennial Mall between Q and R Streets, this 9 foot statue depicts Chief Standing Bear during one of the landmark moments in Nebraska History. It shows him in the courtroom scene where he stated, "I am a Man", which resulted in him being the first Native American judicially granted civil rights. Standing Bear is represented with the courage and determination that was needed to stand in a courtroom where he was not considered a person at the time.
