Ok I found out the solution for the glitch in the early versions for the statue. Put the Chief on the face of the statue closes to you and by the neck of the statue that is where the chief will direct from. It make take 1-3 tries but if you stick to that area you will find it.

Since there are already several topics on how to deal with statue issues, I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread.
