ookoo lady, He has done indians in ALL states but Hawaii, where he carved a Polynesian. Here is a quote from part of a news article "The self-taught sculptor said the Charles Towne Landing Indian is a composite of historical features of the state's Catawba Indians, just as his works in other states were inspired by the tribes unique to them (Technically, Hawaii is the only state without an Indian sculpture; there, Toth chiseled a Polynesian)."
So that explains it. The piece is his interpretation of a Polynesian, placing them in his catagory of indiginous people. I have his book somewhere which he actually gave to me. I watched him carve a large part of a Indian statue in Hollywood Florida for an Indian friend of mine. He plays chess a few hours a day with anyone who will play with him. He calls his indians the "Trail of tears" and "The Whispering Giants". The whole deal is an interesting story.
