When I first saw the headline, I thought, "cool, a sculpture of an Indian somewhere on the river bank looking over the water" WRONG! According to the article, the "first of several" to be placed here and there in the area, is going to be on Montgomery Ave. in Sheffield, and if Mayor Sanford's comment is correct," is a guy with a guitar in front of a microphone." The article says these sculptures are to represent the areas musical history or such. My question is, why label them "Singing River" sculptures? The "Singing River" was given that name by the Native Americans long before any musical history was even started in the area. It is not called that because of the areas musical accomplishments.
If you're going to have sculptures called "The Singing River Sculptures", don't you think they should be to pay tribute to the river and to the people who named it?
