Working in tandem, the two sculptures join to make one of the largest bronze sculptures in the world. They are the current sites of two sculpture parks called " Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness" and "Pioneer Courage". In 2000, First National Bank designated two parcels of green space for the city of Omaha.

Their mission, "to build a more prosperous Heartland, where communities can flourish and every child can succeed," carries on to this day. In 1895, twelve businessmen from Omaha, including Herman Kountze, started the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. The panic of 1893 sparked the worst depression of the 19th century.

Omaha's first bank opened its doors and started trading primarily in gold dust and buffalo hides. Two immigrant brothers from Ohio, Herman and Augustus Kountze, opened Kountze Brothers Bank in 1857. He eventually served on First National Bank's board of directors. One of the visitors, Thomas Davis, helped found Omaha when he donated $600 in gold dust for an official charter.
