This is good to know Gene, I am now curious where the BC one is located:)

Gene Walls replied:

I did a little research and found that Wolf Toth did not complete his goal of creating a Wispering Giant for each province in Canada. There was one in Vancouver, Washington. Sadly, it had to be removed a few years ago because it was rotting from the inside, due to termite infestation. Instead of creating any new Giants, Wolf has been refurbishing the older ones to prevent any more from being lost to the elements. So far, 3 out of 74 have been lost. His last new Giant was done in Délegyháza, Hungary in 2008. It is a tribute to St Stephan I, King of Hungary. Our Chief Woapalanee is one of the statues that was in danger of rotting away. It was fully restored and sealed with a protective finish a few years ago. The closest Whispering Giants to you can be found in Winnepeg Beach, Manitoba and two are in Oregon. Best regards, Gene

THis is the most beautiful totem I have ever seen! Amazing details too Gene!f/v

Gene Walls replied:

Thank you very much, Eti! The sculptor, Peter Wolf Toth, has created more than 70 of these great tributes to the First Peoples and Native Americans. There is at least one in every US State and in each Canadian province. We all love our Chief Woapalanee here in Williamsport. Kindest wishes, Gene
