Whispering Giant

This sculpture of a Native American male is in Whiteville, NC in front of a museum.  The info sign with it says it is one of more than 74 "Whispering Giant" sculptures in the world.  See Wikipedia note below.  This one was carved on site from an old cypress log located in South Carolina.  "Peter Wolf Toth (born December 1947) is a Hungarian-born American sculptor, who immigrated to the United States and settled in Akron, Ohio. He later studied art at the University of Akron. He created a series of sculptures called Trail of the Whispering Giants to honor Native Americans. Overall, he has created more than 74 sculptures, including at least one in each state of the United States, and in several Provinces and territories of Canada."
