One of the many truck stops along old Route 66, Big Cabin is, like much of Oklahoma, Indian land. What this means, in practical terms, is that it's home to smoke shops with cheap cigarettes (and clove 'cigars'!) and probably a casino or two. It's loaded with tourist trappy stuff, some of it in inappropriate places like the above signs plastered all over the walls of the laundry room.
The Big Cabin Indian, below, can be seen clearly from the Tollway, and he stands across from the base of the exit ramp, at the entrance to the Big Cabin Travel Plaza. Oddly enough, the large metal plaque telling all about the indian (which I foolishly didn't get a picture of) is several hundred yards away, by the smoke shop. Why this is I can only speculate, but I would assume it's because the Indian was probably moved at some point.
