"old Ish" Ishpeming MI - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The statue of Old "Ish," the Native American, was erected here in 1884 by the local mining company, as part of an array of drinking fountains -- one for humans, one for horses, and one for dogs. The iron statue -- representing an Ojibwe brave, was originally painted black. Today it is brightly colored, like a plastic model.
