Chief Caddo stands 7 feet 6 inches in height and weighs over 320
pounds and is the largest symbol passed between NCAA universities in the Nation.
The statue is awarded annually to the winner of the Lumberjack-Demon contest. The statue originated
in 1960 when longtime rivals SFA and Northwestern State decided to award the winner of the game a trophy. The two institutions settled on a statue of a
mythical Indian chief whose tribe was fabled to be responsible for settling the locations that became English-speaking Nacogdoches and Natchitoches.
