Kwanusila the Thunderbird, is an authentic Kwagu'ł totem pole, carved in Red Cedar by Tony Hunt of Fort Rupert, British Columbia. The crests carved upon the totem pole represent Kwanusila the Thunderbird, a whale with a man on its back, and a sea monster. Many people do not realize that totem poles were only regionally used by First Nations along the coastal areas of British Columbia. Kwanusila is an exact replica of the original Kraft Lincoln Park totem pole, which was donated to the City of Chicago by James L. Kraft on June 20, 1929, and which stood on the spot until October 9, 1985. It was discovered some years before the pole was moved, that a pole of this type did not exist in the types at the Provincial British Columbia Museum located in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Arrangements were made for a duplicate of the Chicago original to be made by the same Amerindian tribe that made the original. A request was made and approved by the Chicago Park District for the original totem pole which existed here to be presented back to British Columbia. Kwanusila is dedicated to the school children of Chicago, and was presented to the City of Chicago by Kraft, Inc. on May 21, 1986.

Alexander Hamilton Monument

LOCATION: South of W. Diversey Parkway, west of N. Cannon Drive and east of N. Stockton Drive

INSTALLED: 1952 

SCULPTOR: John Angel

Philanthropist and art patron Kate Sturges Buckingham (1858–1937) is best known for donating the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain in Grant Park, but she also commissioned this monument to Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804), whom she felt was “one of the least appreciated great Americans.” Buckingham believed that as the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton had secured the nation’s financial future, making it possible for her own family to make a fortune in grain elevators and banking. In 1940, she hired artist John Angel to model a figurative sculpture of Hamilton.
