This Indian statue was previously located at Benson's Wild Animal Park in Hudson, NH. In the late 1980s, the park closed and the Indian was moved here to promote the Mohawk Club, a nightclub. When the Mohawk Club closed, the building was used by the Mohawk Gift and Antique Shop. Mohawk Motors, a used car dealership, has been the business there now for many years. The statue fell over once and had his right arm stolen. A replacement arm was created. For more, see this website. [map]

Asheville, NC (now Pontiac, MI)
This Indian statue was installed in 1967 at the "Harry's on the Hill" Pontiac dealership (now Harry's Cadillac-Pontiac-GMC). The statue had his feather stolen about 20 years ago but it was returned. The photos above are from 2001 and 2007. In 2018, the statue was removed after a conversation with a Native American customer who found the statue disrespectful. The statue was donated to the Pontiac Transportation Museum in Pontiac, MI. The statue was restored by Mark Cline in Virginia. In 2021, the statue was installed in the museum lobby.

This Indian statue has been standing at the Chaonia Landing resort since the early 1990s. He overlooks Lake Wappapello and is known as Chief Wappalese.

Indian
Edneyville, NC
This Indian statue in Asheville is known as Chief Willy. It is located in front of Erwin High School. The school's sports teams are called the "Warriors" and the "Lady Warriors" (previously the "Squaws"). In 2001, there was much debate about removing the statue for being racially offensive, but he still stands. These photos are from 2007. By 2011, the statue had been repainted a solid color gold color. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [map]

This Indian statue in Edneyville is part of the simulated Western town known as Bub Hyder's Ranch. There is also an International Fiberglass Paul Bunyan statue, a couple of steer statues and a Chip's figure. For more, see this website.

Indian
Cherokee, NC
This Indian statue stood in front of an old souvenir store when these photos were taken in 2007. At that time, he was flanked by two smaller Indian statues. By 2010, the store behind him had become the Indian Ink Tattoo Studio. I believe the smaller Indians were gone before that. The larger Indian then went missing part of his headdress. The store closed and the statue was moved to storage. In 2021, the statue emerged at Native Brews Tap & Grill with a fresh coat of paint and a single feather. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
