Four-Headed Thunderbird Statue Stopped at the Thunderbird Statue while in Bismarck. The wife said it was worth the detour, so you know it must be good. Located right on the river it is a good spot for a picnic. Probably a great spot to relax in the summer. There is a trail, grills, even a pop machine and small ship for kids to play on.

4-Headed Thunderbird Sculpture This rather unusual sculpture, comprising four Thunderbird heads facing in four directions, is in Steamboat Park on the banks of the Missouri River. It represents four archetypal Thunderbird myths from four geographic regions of the US. Accompanying plaques tell those stories, and a fifth tells the story of the creation of the sculpture by student artists from the United Tribes Technical College.
