From our Hampton Inn we take a short drive to the North Dakota Heritage Center located on the grounds of the North Dakota State Capital Building, the tallest state capital in the U.S. Outside the heritage center are statues of Sacajawea (or Sacakawea, the spelling varies between Indian tribes; Meriweather Lewis spelled it 31 different ways in his journals) and a bison. Note especially the use of rebar around the eye of the bison.
