Abstract:: April 3, 1964 Article in The Miami Herald 6-A titled "Honest Injun" re: Miami Beach's Indian statue. Photo by Bill Sanders. July 24, 1962 B&W article, Daily Sun, Page 3, "Mysterious, Redskin Revealed As Still a 'Pretty Solid Fellow' with a picture of the Indian statue and the subheading that reads: Lo, The Poor Indian . . . Just Ornamental, and the history behind it, as explained by Mrs. Fisher. "My husband had the statue erected there," Mrs. Fisher said, "because he was opening up that section of the Beach for development and he needed something to designate the new area." "He is made out of concrete," Mrs. Fisher said. "He's still a pretty solid fellow."
