The Neihardt Foundation is pleased to announce artist Herb Mignery has begun work on the bronze sculpture of John G. Neihardt and Nicholas Black Elk. The larger-than-life sculpture will grace the grounds of the Neihardt Site upon completion.

Mignery cast his first bronze in 1973, and has executed numerous works and monuments over the years, with each sculpture completing a piece of a story of life in the West.

The Board would like to thank the family of Maxine Kessinger for their generous donation that has helped the Foundation reach this goal.

Donations are still being accepted for the pouring of the finished bronze.
