The statue of an Indian drinking from a spring is a sculpture done at the turn of the twentieth century by Phimister Protor. Located in a peaceful setting in Battlefield Park it is “dedicated to the many tribes of Indians that were once a part of the region.”

The sculpture was given to the park in 1921 by George Pratt and includes an inscription which reads: “Under quiet pines amidst a peaceful pool, an Indian is poised, dipping his hand for a drink from the cool water.”
