Chief Kno-Tah, Native American wooden monument in Shute Park, Hillsboro, United States
The 25-foot-tall wooden sculpture depicted the head of a Native American leader, carved from a Douglas fir log weighing 250,000 pounds.
Peter Wolf Toth completed this monument in 1987 as part of his Trail of Whispering Giants series, representing Native American figures across North America.
The monument honored Chief Kno-Tah of the Tualatin Indians, who signed a treaty in 1855 to transfer ancestral lands to settlers.
After sustaining damage from a falling tree branch in 2017, the deteriorating structure raised safety concerns and required removal from the park.
The sculpture featured detailed braided hair with feathers and stood on an 8-foot-diameter concrete base, making it visible throughout the park.
