Whispering Giant #7 (Ong-Gwe-Ohn-Weh) - Dunkirk, NY - Whispering Giant Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The plaque at the base of the sculture reads as follows:

This wooden sculpture of an American Indian was created by Peter Toth of Akron, OH in two months time during the summer of 1973. It was carved from the lower trunk of a dead elm tree located near the corner of Fifth St and Park Ave. Upon completion the work of art was moved to this site where it was dedicated on Sunday October 21, 1973 and accepted on behalf of the City of Dunkirk by Mayor Clemens J. Lutz.

The sculptor donated his time, effort and resultant work of art to the city. Mr. Toth has created a number of other similar works throughout the county and hopes to eventually have one in each state of the union. He is an ardent champion for the cause of the American Indian, and stated his missino is to bring into focus in the minds of Americans everywhere, the plight of this nation's orginial citizens.
