25-ft. tall Indian

I am 12 years old. Our family was on vacation last spring break in The Smokies just outside of Asheville. We stayed in Maggie Valley, near the Cherokee Indian Reservation. As we were driving one day past a store I noticed a 20- or 25-ft. high Indian in front of the store. It was huge! There was a garage not too far from the store so I thought it was a muffler man. This was a spectacular sight! It was painted nicely and had a giant ceremonial hat, and a very serious facial expression. [Charlie McNamara, 07/31/1997]
