#21 - Maryland's Indian - Whispering Giant Sculptures on Waymarking.com

A nearby plaque reads: TRAIL OF THE WHISPERING GIANTS - MARYLAND'S INDIAN. This monument, representing the Assateague Indian, was sculptured by Peter Toth and given to the people of Maryland as a gift. Toth is presently sculpturing an Indian monument in each of the fifty states, to pay homage to his heritage and to raise the nation's consciousness as to the plight of the Native Americans. The monument carved from 100 year old oak was completed in 1976 [and is being restored in 2006].The Assateague Indian was a sub-tribe of the Nanticokes, both spoke a dialect of the Lenapes of Delaware Indian, which made them members of the Algonkian family. Indian groups living in the vicinity of Assateague Island included the Pocomoke, Annamessex, Manokin, Nassawattex, Acquintica, Assateague, Chincoteague and Kicotanks. By the early 1700's, the Assateague, along with all the other Indian tribes in the area, were pressured by colonists to move Northward out of the region. Their migration led them through Delaware,/Pennsylvania, New York and finally into Canada where they were lost to history.
