This statue is supposedly a "memorial to war dead", but to the dead of which war? 1936 is too early for WW2 dead, not really apropos of WW1, ... - maybe to the dead on both sides of the Dakota War of 1862? tpk ( talk) 16:26, 21 November 2012 (UTC) reply

This statue is featured in the 2005 movie Factotum.

The article says: "Although there is no connection between Native American spirituality and his own vision...". Is this original research? If not, who has researched the issue?
