Coming of the White Man, Memorial statue in Washington Park, Portland, United States.
The bronze sculpture, measuring 8 feet 8 inches tall, depicts two Native American men looking toward the Columbia River from an elevated position.
The statue commemorates the 1805 arrival of the Lewis and Clark expedition, when they reached the junction of Snake and Columbia rivers.
The bronze figures represent Chief Multnomah with crossed arms and a younger Native American raising branches toward the approaching explorers.
Located near the Oregon Holocaust Museum on SW Washington Way, the memorial stands on a stone base measuring 5 feet 6 inches in height.
The Thompson family funded this 1904 Hermon Atkins MacNeil creation, with a plaster cast version displayed at the Poppenhusen Institute in Queens.
