Keeper of the Plains - Visit Wichita - Park Travel Review
One of the most iconic images in Wichita, the Keeper of the Plains stands at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers. This 44-foot, 5-ton weathered steel sculpture was donated to Wichita by Native American artist Blackbear Bosin in 1974. It sits atop a 30-foot pedestal overlooking the city.
The Ring of Fire occurs when the firepots are lit and will burn following the schedule above for 15 minutes every evening. All schedules are weather depending, including river levels. The Ring of Fire will not be turned on in high winds, rain or other inclement weather. If the river is too high, or if a person is too close, they will not be turned on. The ceremony is sacred to the Native people of Wichita and represents the relationship of earth, water, air and fire.

It is based on the sculpture of The Keeper of the Plains at the Indian Center in Wichita, Kansas. Several artists created their own design on a pre- fabricated fiberglass Keeper base. The project and the fees for the artists were sponsored by the Wichita Eagle and multiple area businesses.

Great Plains Nature Center - Visit Wichita - Park Travel Review
The Great Plains Nature Center is a cooperative project between the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism, City of Wichita and Friends of the Great Plains Nature Center. These partners share a common goal of providing opportunities for the public to investigate, understand and develop an appreciation for wildlife and the environment, while promoting sound stewardship of natural resources.
We enjoyed a tour of the facility from the Director, Marc Murrell and Naturalist, Amanda Alessi. The Koch Habitat Hall is the centerpiece of the Nature Center. The 3,500 square feet of displays within it were completed during the summer of 2000 and our GRAND OPENING was Labor Day Weekend, September 1 - 3, 2000. A generous grant from the Fred C. and Mary R. Koch Foundation allowed us to finish this part of the nature center.
If you are interested in supporting the Great Plains Nature Center, please contact them at
There are several, well marked trails in the park. By following the outer loop, we hiked about 2 miles in Chisholm Creek Park.
A special thank you to visitwichita.com for arranging this special tour. While we were in Wichita, we were hosted at Tru by Hilton.

The Keeper of the Plains is a 44-foot tall steel sculpture standing at the point where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers join together in downtown Wichita. This land between the two rivers is sacred ground to the Native American people and is also home to the Mid-America All-Indian Center. The Indian Warrior sculpture was created by Wichitan and Native American artist Blackbear Bosin (1921-1980). This icon of Wichita was erected on May 18, 1974 to celebrate the United States Bi-centennial and has kept a watchful eye on the city ever since. Decades later the Keeper of the Plains now has an even larger view of Wichita. A complete renovation of the sculpture and installation of the Keeper of the Plains Plaza now brings people out each evening to see the Keeper and the Ring of Fire. The 5-ton Keeper of the Plains statue is now 30 feet higher than before with it's new pedestal. There are also two suspended foot bridges allowing people to cross from the north and south directions to the plaza at the base of the Keeper.
