The store was formerly called “The Big Indian Shop” after the statue standing outside the building along the Mohawk Trail in Charlemont.

Letter writer Brad Brigham misses the “colorful statuesque Native American chief along the Mohawk Trail in Shelburne Falls,” and so do I.  I liked going to the Mohawk Drive-In in the early 80s when I was a teen and seeing the chief before a double feature. Those were good times.  

Normal people never had a problem with “Big Indian,” but the woke crowd became offended. If these malcontents had just ignored the chief, he would still be standing in Shelburne Falls. But liberals have always got to throw a fit until they get their way.  I can hear President Trump now: “These people are crazy!”
