A new sculpture greeting visitors outside Cuyahoga Falls' municipal offices pays tribute to the waterfall that gave the city its name — and a culture that long preceded the city's establishment.The statue, created by Peter B. Jones and installed in early December, was commissioned by Cuyahoga Falls and funded in part through grant funds administered by the National Endowment for the Arts' Our Town initiative. The public artwork depicts what the Cuyahoga River meant to the indigenous people of the area.
