“The Chief” is back, but not in San Antonio. Eight months after its removal from its longtime home outside the Red McCombs Superior Hyundai dealership on the city’s Northwest Side, the American Indian statue has resurfaced about 50 miles south of the city at Jourdanton High School. The school posted photos of the statue Wednesday on Facebook, along with a remark in the post's comments section that the statue had been donated.
It was time for McCombs American Indian statue to come down Ramón Vásquez, longtime executive director of the American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions, called the continued use of such imagery 'an injustice' that continues to minimize the American Indians of Texas. “When I found out that the statue was being moved to the school that was just like another slap in the face to American Indians of Texas,' Vásquez said.
