JOURDANTON, Texas — Jourdanton ISD announced on Tuesday that they will be acquiring the Big Chief statue that was removed from the Red McCombs Hyundai dealership.
Back in July 2023, the iconic Indian statue was removed from the dealership after the company said the move was made due to the ongoing renovation and construction happening in the area.
The statue looked over San Antonio traffic off 410 for 40 years but now, it will look over the district that says they are honored to preserve its legacy and continue to make it an integral part of our community for generations to come.
“Jourdanton ISD has recently acquired the historic Big Chief from Red McCombs. As a school district, we understand the importance of honoring history and preserving the legacy of our community. Big Chief holds a special place in the hearts of many Jourdanton Indians, and we are proud to now own this iconic landmark. We acknowledge the significance of the Big Chief and its cultural importance, and we are committed to ensuring that it remains an integral part of our community for generations to come. As Jourdanton Indians, we take pride in our history and heritage, and we look forward to how this will now be a part of our story,” the district said in a Facebook post.
