Hiawatha, World's Largest Indian

Hiawatha was standing tall when we visited in the summer of 2016. There's an open, grassy area for kids to run around. Plus you can see his butt cheeks, another bonus for the kids.

This will sound like lame excuses, but the sun had set, we were tired...and frankly, it just didn't occur to us to examine Hiawatha's bottom. Thanks for your eye for detail!
