Another Indian Story....

(Disclaimer: I may not have all of the facts exactly right, but this is the way I recall the story.)
This huge Indian Chief was erected a few years ago at a cost of around $50,000 on the property of the 'Tall Chief Smoke Shop' near Big Cabin, OK. He was standing atop a large round drum that lays on it's side near the smoke shop still today. Here is the funny part. Apparently, tribal activists not wanting to damage the reputation of Indians and Indian chiefs, insisted on having the "tall chief" moved farther away from the smoke shop so as not to associate indians with smoking. So now, he is a quarter mile down the road at the entrance to the truck plaza.
Excuse me, but didn't smoking originate with the indian peace pipes ???
