The
Fonner Rotunda houses beautiful noted collections of Native
American and Old West memorabilia formerly belonging to the late
August L. "Gus" Fonner, Grand Island civic leader and
horseman. These fascinating exhibits reflect the contrasting cultures
of the Plains Indians and the early western settlers. 
The center of the Fonner Rotunda is reigned by this life-sized sculpture
of a Sioux Indian family, titled "The Arrowmaker". Done
in plaster and bronze coated, an Indian boy watches intently as
his father sights down an arrow to test its trueness. Behind them
stands the mother, an interested observer. Ellis Burman was the
sculptor of this piece.
