Donated by the artist. The sculpture was carved from a single red oak tree that came from Cobble Mountain in Gilford, New Hampshire. There was controversy among city agencies over the placement of the sculpture, which was originally planned for Stewart Park. Yankee Crane Company helped erect the sculpture. Over 3,000 people attended the dedication ceremonies, including an estimated 100 descendants of the Penacook Suzuki tribe.
