[map] This Indian statue in Bemidji represents Shaynowishkung, also known as Chief Bemidji. Shaynowishkung helped early settlers in the area make it through winters. The original statue was a wood carving, created in 1901. After much deterioration, it was replaced with this carved statue in 1952. It was created by Eric Boe. In 2011, fundraising began to create a more accurate and respectable representation of Chief Bemidji. These photos are from 2011. In 2014, this statue was moved to the Beltrami County Historical Society. A realistic, bronze replacement statue has been installed at the site. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. |

The statue welcomed visitors to the Cherokee District. It was a donated by the Cherokee Station Merchants Association. The Indian's hand was raised in a gesture of peace. There were Cherokee letters painted on his tablet. In 2021, it was removed following a public meeting in which the statue was found to be not an appropriate representation of the Cherokee Indians. The statue will be displayed at the National Building Arts Center in Sauget, IL. The Indian statue in Orderville once stood between the Rancho Service Utoco gas station and the Rancho Lodge.
