American Indian Veteran Memorial Statue - Repainted and Relocated

The sculpture entitled The Gift made by sculptor A. Thomas Schomberg has been relocated at the Riverside National Cemetery (22495 Van Buren Boulevard, Riverside) and is waiting for the Memorial to American Indian Veterans to be completed. They continue to raise funds for the memorial. The statue of a dignified native American wrapped in a Continental flag holding a Jefferson Medal - a token of peace and friendship between the US Government and the Indian tribes - has been repainted and relocated to a more prominent area near the Veterans Memorial Amphitheater.  More information about the statue and memorial can be found here and a series of videos about it can be found through the Schomberg studio website.  A previous post with photos of the statue before the repainting can be found here.
