The Pioneer Woman Statue, we see her every day. She stands boldly on a pyramid of cut stone with a young boy. Her name is Confident and is a reminder of the challenges woman faced in the new territory; she braved the dangers and hardships every day while taking care of family needs. Ernest Whitworth Marland, was an oilman, philanthropist, US Congressman and our tenth governor of Oklahoma.

Mr. Marland conceived the idea to honor and recognize woman who are important to the growth of the pioneer days. She is relevant; woman still brave dangers, hardships and take care of family needs. The Pioneer Woman Statue, Confident, celebrated her 90th year since the unveiling on April 22, 1930.
