What) This statue honoring Sequoyah, the Cherokee genius who invented the Cherokee alphabet was sculpted from a single giant California Sequoia (redwood) log which was donated and shipped by Georgia-Pacific.
This is sculptor Peter Wolf Toth's 63rd statue across the United States and Canada commemorating the contributions of Native Americans. The dedication ceremony took place on September 30, 1989. (From the plaque near the statue)
Where) 589 Tsali Boulevard
Why) I
really liked Toth's statue
of Chief Little Owl when we drove by it in Bethany Beach,
Delaware on our Florida
trip. When I got home, I checked out a website
featuring some of Toth's other sculptures and decided against
making any of them Buckys on this trip. As we were
driving through Cherokee, a large sculpture caught my eye and
it seemed pleasingly familiar. Perhaps I am going to
reverse that decision.
