Image of steel eagle sculpture taken from the south
The City of Northfield commissioned Marshall-based artist John Sterner to create a sculpture for the intersection that would give a prominent place in our community to a significant Native American cultural touchstone. Sterner, drawing on his Lakota and Dakota heritage, created a 15-foot tall steel sculpture of an eagle in flight, titled Wanbli Mitakuye Oyasin (Eagle Relatives). A plaque containing the city’s land acknowledgement statement, adopted in 2020, accompanies the sculpture at the site.
