The Freedom Monument Sculpture Park


At this 17-acre site along the very river where tens of thousands of enslaved people were trafficked, breathtaking art and original artifacts invite an immersive, interactive journey and provide a unique view into the lives of enslaved people.


At the heart of the site rises the National Monument to Freedom, which honors four million formerly enslaved Black people who won freedom after the Civil War.


There are 48 sculptures by 27 artists.


Indigenous people who occupied these lands for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans are also honored here through the work of globally-renowned Indigenous artists.


The inclusion of the five Allan Houser bronzes is particularly gratifying for the Houser/Haozous family as Allan's father, Sam Haozous, was among the population of Chiricahua Apaches who were held as prisoners of war from 1889 to 1894 at the Mt. Vernon Barracks in Southern Alabama. Allan's mother, Blossom, was born as a prisoner in the Mt. Vernon Barracks in 1893.

A dedication will be held June 17 -19. For More information about the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park and associated Legacy Sites, CLICK HERE or email legacysites@eji.org

To Take Shape and Meaning

Form and Design in Contemporary American Indian Art

March 2–July 28, 2024


Allan Houser's influential role in the evolution and definition of American Indian Art is exemplified in this exhibition Organized by guest curator Nancy Strickland Fields (Lumbee), director/curator of the Museum of the Southeast American Indian at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. The Exhibition features works by 75 Indigenous artists from over 50 tribes throughout the United States and Canada


Allan Houser was commissioned in 1948 to create a sculpture for the Haskell School in Lawrence, KS, honoring all American Indian soldiers who served and sacrificed during World War II.


Carved in Italian Carrara marble, this was his first monumental sculpture and the first created by a Native American artist in the modern era.


Houser taught at the Institute of American Indian Art from 1962 to 1975, and his sculptural aesthetics and work influenced thousands of younger Native artists.

In the exhibition

"Reverie", 1981, 25"H X 23"W X 13"D

"Camp Talk",1979, 24" X 25" X 22"

Allan Houser's paintings, drawings and sculpture are in the permanent collections of over 80 museums and public institutions throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.
