I am the son of Julian Leslie, the businessman who commissioned the making of the Big Indian. Although "guess-timates" for his height have varied wildly from 20 to 50 feet, the Big Chief is in fact 40 feet tall. He also stands atop a six-foot solid concrete pedestal, making him as high as a telephone pole.

Freeport's big Indian is still looking good along Route 1. The establishment he stands in front of is the Conundrum Wine Bistro. A conundrum, indeed.
[Gunnar Johnson, 10/20/2011]In local parlance the Indian is known as the "BFI." Big (cough) Freeport Indian is one explanation of the initials, but there are two others that range from PG13 to R rated.
[Robin D., 12/13/2008]We are the new owners of the Big Freeport Indian. Our company is called Winter People Image Marketing and we specialize in corporate and retail clothing that coincides with the "Maine way of life."
