Jack London Square, San Francisco, Bay Area,
Oakland, California

On Thursday, May 16, 2002, the third Cheemah Monument, destined for North America, was unveiled. This 18 foot (5.5 meter) tall bronze statue was erected at the Port of Oakland's highly visited Jack London Square where it will be on view to the public for generations to come.

At the unveiling ceremony, the artist and founder of the Cheemah Project, Osprey Orielle Lake, and Oakland's Mayor Jerry Brown made presentations along with other celebrated speakers. Ms. Lake spoke eloquently about diversity and our living earth.

On Saturday May 18th, the Cheemah Project celebrated this third installation with San Francisco Bay Area Girl Scouts during the Port of Oakland's International Port Fest. The Girl Scouts performed their international flag march in honor of world unity.
