Commissioned by the organizers of the fair, Bartolo Pasin and Rogelio Chimenti, it was designed by Miguel De Lisi and constructed in two months by local bricklayer Aldo Cardozo.

This was a 45-day event that aimed to highlight the economic potential of the Comahue Region, and at the same time commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of Villa Regina.

Bartolo Pasin and Rogelio Chimenti, who organized the fair, proposed the construction to designer Miguel De Lisi, after seeing his work at the City Hotel in Mar del Plata.

[3] The completed monument, now standing at almost 13 metres (42.4 ft), depicts a native who is holding a long spear while watching the horizon.

The job proved to be very difficult due to strong winds that blew the wooden planks off the scaffolding and into a nearby ditch.

[3] It also serves to mark the finishing line for the annual trekking trail competition, Desafío al Indio Comahue.

[10][11] In 2019, plots of land on the northern hill that included the location of the monument were subject to a lawsuit by lawyers that requested the municipality to auction them off for the settlement of unpaid fees.
