Thunderbird statue. Bismarck, North Dakota - 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. [Mike Peters, 12/03/2008]

[RA: It looks like an Aztec version of John Carpenter's The Thing.]
