Ancient Man and Turtle Island

This Ancient Man and Turtle Island (below) are new sculptures in Parsons by Stan Herd, best known as the crop artist. From Protection, KS, Herd creates earthworks on large pieces of land.

According to some Native Americans, Turtle Island is the original name for North America. The legend is that when the earth was covered by water, dirt was placed on the back of the "Great Turtle" to create North America.
