Kwakiutl, Indigenous cedar sculpture in Chinguacousy Park, Canada.
The nine-foot cedar wood statue depicts an Aboriginal man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and cape with extended arms at Chinguacousy Park greenhouse in Brampton.
Simon Charlie, a Cowichan Tribes artist who received the Canadian Centennial Medal, created this statue in 1972 for the Chinguacousy Township hall.
The statue represents Pacific Northwest Coast traditions through its design and name, connecting Brampton residents with Indigenous artistic expressions.
The sculpture requires specific conservation measures to protect the cedar wood from environmental factors, leading to discussions about its proper placement.
The statue generated local debates upon its unveiling due to its anatomical accuracy, leading to multiple relocations throughout Brampton over several decades.
