The Big F Indian in Freeport, ME, also known as BFI or FBI, is a 40-foot-tall statue of Chief Passamaquoddy commissioned by Julian Leslie in 1969. Despite some controversy over its accuracy, the statue has become a landmark in the area, attracting visitors with its unique folk art charm.
Originally created to help sell moccasins, the Big F Indian has been repainted and maintained over the years, standing as a reminder of Maine's indigenous heritage. New owners in 2021 are open to working with local tribal leaders to update certain elements while preserving the iconic stature of the Big F Indian.
