The World's Tallest Indian, a striking 62-foot sculpture located in Skowhegan, Maine, stands atop a 20-foot base and was crafted by local sculptor Bernard Langlais in 1969. Dedicated to the Abnaki Indians of Maine, the statue serves as a tribute to the region's first inhabitants and their contributions to the local history.

Originally celebrated for its unique design, the statue faced challenges from weather and time, leading to significant restoration efforts completed in 2014. Unfortunately, a storm in February 2024 caused further damage, prompting the Skowhegan Regional Chamber of Commerce to seek a new preservation solution.
