Longtime sculptor A. Thomas Schomberg discusses the new memorial statue that will honor American Indian and Alaska Native Veterans.

The statue, named ‘The Gift,’ is earmarked to be placed at the Riverside National Cemetery.

On Friday, Sept. 22, visitors will be able to view the design at CalVet’s headquarters from 3 to 5 p.m. as part of Native American Day in California.

CalVet is located at 1227 O Street in Sacramento. The statue will be displayed in Medal of Honor Hall on the first floor. Refreshments will be available.
