Why public art matters To Columbus: Let’s keep Tatanka! 💖🦬💖
You might notice this post sounds a little different from the others. And that's because Tatanka should matter to Columbus more than you might realize. This piece has so much in common with the people of our town. Tatanka is one of us.
Tatanka carries a strength💪 and sturdy depiction of art and honors Nebraska’s history, and we’re a community that takes pride in the legacy of those who came before us. Just think about it: the bench where you can sit and look at the mural showing our past invites friendly encounters among people.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The placement of Tatanka is intentional and meaningful to who we are.
The material used to create this piece is solid, sturdy, and will stand the test of time- much like our community. Our community culture is solid and resilient- the people are no different. It’s no surprise this piece resonates with us.
And let’s not forget, the people of Columbus are friendly. What better way to showcase that than with a bench? We come together in simple ways to connect and share life, and that’s something that matters deeply – now and for future generations.
This is probably the longest argument to keep Tatanka, but it’s also the most important. Tatanka belongs here. Let’s make sure the reflection of our culture stays in place.
