A International Fiberglass American Indian Brave version stands at McEachern high school in Powder Springs, GA and he has been here for at least 51 years. I’ve heard a few versions of his history and there are some conflicts between Buckhead and Marietta Georgia as his previous location but we do know that he stood at a Pontiac dealership at one of these towns from the late 60’s to the early 70’s before being purchased by the McEachern class of 1973. When they graduated they gave him to the school as a class gift and he as been standing on a tall pole behind the bleachers ever since.

This specific Indian was placed at McEachern High School as a gift from the class of 1973. It originally was constructed for a vehicle dealership in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, named Taber Pontiac. I remember this because I graduated from there in 1974 and remember the dedication ceremony from the class of 1973. There should be some presentation material on the campus which discusses this commemorative gift in some detail.
Taber Pontiac was located at 3275 PEACHTREE RD NE, ATLANTA GA 30305-2420, it was established on 30 December 1947 and dissolved as a business on 9 January 1992. The Dealership was owned by Earl F Taber.. Its not historically known when the Taber family had the Indian “Pontiac” constructed. The Taber dealership was supposed to have been purchased by Boomershine Pontiac.
Pontiac was an Ottawa Indian chief who lived in the Ohio region and who was one of the most successful military tacticians of his time..
Some memories of the old Pontiac dealership::
“Also on Peachtree there was Taber Pontiac with a two-story high statue of an Indian on the roof. As a child I used to speculate how cool it would be if the Taber Pontiac Indian would jump down and stride up Peachtree to ride the Seven Steers bull”

“Remember Tabor Pontiac on Peachtree? I think it was just down the street from Lenox Square. It had a 20′ tall indian brave standing on the roof. Well, that indian is now at McEachern High School (Powder Springs/ Cobb Co.) Standing proudly over the football field”
