Unknown First Family (Statue)
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Alaska statehood, the city commissioned a 25-foot sculpture of an Alaska Native family signifying _"Alaska's first family"_. The statue is the centerpiece of Golden Heart Plaza, which was dedicated in 1986 on the south bank of the Chena River in the middle of downtown Fairbanks.[1]
The statue stands over 18 feet high and highlights this fur-dressed family and their two loyal dogs, who stand back-to-back and face every direction they might have been traveling to or from.
