The Land Run Monument "commemorates the opening of Indian land in Oklahoma territory" for pioneering homesteaders in 1889.  While I think we can all look back on the way the "west was won" from the Indians and find much of it sad and horrible, present-day Oklahoma at least acknowledges and honors its Indian heritage and population.  OK became a repository for the many displaced Indians, a fact that is reiterated in the many tribal signs as you drive along the roadways.  Its very name is Choctaw for "red people," its flag is a compilation of various Indian  tribal symbols, it was one of the first (and maybe only?) states to put a Native American statue on the dome of its capitol building (a 22ft, 6000 pound one at that!), and there are innumerable license plates displaying the driver's specific Indian tribal heritage.

 This monument is made up of life-size (or larger?) horse, dog, wagon, and people (and even rabbit) statues. Very well done.

Pretty realistic-looking, yeah?
