Top 10 Giant People challenge, Town Giants group; June 25, 20108
*Featured in Town Giants group, May 6, 2009

Location: Suffolk and Houk Streets; Ironwood Michigan

Since June 1964, tourists have been sitting on Hiawatha’s moccasins and getting their picture taken. The World’s Tallest Indian is 52 feet high, 18,000 pounds and all fiberglass. He is located at the top of a dramatic hill, an area referred to as “the caves”, because the surrounding “valleys” are old, deep mine shafts that have caved in.

    Congrats to you too. Too bad your guy is fenced in. I always thought these people were lucky to have a giant Indian in their front yard.
