This sculpture is located at the top of the dome of the Kansas State Capitol building in Topeka. It features a Kanza Indian (one of the original settlers of Kansas) shooting a bow into the sky. The reason for the name comes from the State's motto. The first part means to the sky in Latin, so it was appropriate when this statue was installed in 2002 to name it Ad Astra. It has become susceptible to weathering as it has since turned green, similar to the Statue of Liberty.
