In the month of February the LR Culture Vulture will highlight four different faces found in sculpture and architecture in Central Arkansas.

To start things off is one of the faces from the new sculpture Native Knowledge which is located in Riverfront Park.  The installation was created by Denny Haskew.  Native Knowledge is a tribute to the Caddo, Osage, and Quapaw Native American Cultures of Arkansas.

It is sited near the Quapaw Line and La Petite Roche.  The location is important because the Quapaw Line was used as demarcation to separate the Quapaw Tribe from land available for white settlers.  It ran from La Petite Roche due south.  In addition, La Petite Roche was a stop along the “Trail of Tears” as Native American tribes were resettled from their original homes in the American Southeast to points west.
