Chief Seattle, Bronze statue in Tilikum Place, Seattle, United States
The copper sculpture stands life-sized with the right hand extended in greeting, showing Chief Seattle in traditional Native American garments and headdress.
Created by James Wehn in 1912, this statue represents the first commissioned public artwork in Seattle and celebrates the Suquamish leader's diplomatic relations.
The monument commemorates Chief Seattle's role in fostering connections between Native American tribes and European settlers in the Puget Sound region.
Located at the intersection near Seattle Center Monorail, visitors can access the statue through multiple transit options and walking paths.
The stone base contains a fountain system, and examination during restoration revealed that the statue was originally covered in gold leaf.
