Remarks:
Nearby plaque: "To maintain alive the memory of the pioneer civilizer of the Pimeria and to strengthen the ties of friendship and comprehension between the peoples of both states, Sonora presented this statue to Arizona in August of 1967. Being governors, Lic. Luis Encinas and Hon. Jack Williams, respectively." The text of the plaque is also repeated in Spanish. Father Kino was a Jesuit
missionary
who established the first mission in Arizona in 1699. He also explored the area and drew the first accurate maps of the southwest. There is no known portrait of Father Kino; this sculpture represents what "...many imagine Father Kino to have been."
The sculpture, a gift to the state of Arizona from Sonora, Mexico, is one of two. The second sculpture is located in Sonora. There is a time capsule in the base of the sculpture containing economic and demographic data on Arizona and Sonora. IAS files contain copies of related articles from Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ), Aug. 20, 1967 and Arizona Weekly Gazette (Phoenix, AZ), Aug. 22, 1967.
