This is a very special Skowhegan landmark and beautiful piece of Bernard Langlois sculpture. Also a terrific place to eat a quick lunch and watch people coming and going, if you like that sort of activity. Adjacent to Cumberland Farms convenience store and gas station.

Skowhegan Indian was designed in honor of a Abnaki tribe woman. Many people have referred to the statute as a man. You can tell by the decorative jewelry, long dress and fishing net. Bernard celebrated the Woman Indian!

I love this piece of art, as well as, his other pieces displayed by the Indian and around Skowhegan. The Indian was restored approximately 4 or 5 years ago after the city had a request for bids open for many years as termites and ants had been eating away at the Indian. Following the restoration, the city of Skowhegan installed other wooden pieces of art by the Indian and the Riverwalk.

Excellent tribute to the Native heritage of the area, but in a little rough shape these days. Looks like Its in the process of preservation efforts though. Nothing too spectacular, sadly in a back parking lot of some businesses. Proud landmark for the locals though, with good reason, but not like a national monument or anything. Definitely worth seeing, and taking a photo of if youre in the area of Skowhegan, even if just to say you did. Also no fee, so free is always good.

The sculptures around town by artist Bernard Langlais can be somewhat controversial. A lot of people think they are strange, crude, even ugly. The indian is no exception. Some say its not representative of the native Americans of the area so should be taken down. Some say its in a bad location and should be moved to a more prominent area so more people will see it. It is certainly large, a good thing since its tucked away in the corner of a parking lot. Whether you love it or hate it, its been a part of our town for nealy 50 years. Personally I like it and all of the Langlais sculptures around town. They are all unique and inspire many discussions and debates. Thats art and thats Skowhegan.
