"Cherokee"

May this sculpture serve to honor the countless generations of native Americans who for 10,000 years lived in this place.

"Among these people every man is a king unto himself and no man is above any other," (Jesuit Relations, c.1640)

"They are tall and straight, tread strong and clever and walk with a lofty chin."

(William Penn c. 1685)

Marker can be reached from Riverfront Parkway just from Chestnut Street.
