Coming of the White Man is an outdoor bronze sculpture by American artist Hermon Atkins MacNeil, located in Washington Park, Portland, Oregon in the United States. The statue, gifted to the City of Portland in 1904 by former mayor David P.

Description and history

Coming of the White Man is a statue designed by American artist Hermon Atkins MacNeil (1866–1947), who is known for depicting indigenous peoples of the Americas and Western pioneers. The bronze sculpture, located in Portland's Washington Park along Southwest Washington Way, was donated to the City of Portland in 1904 by former mayor David P. Thompson.[1] It was installed the following year.[2] The work depicts Chief Multnomah and another Native American male figure looking towards the Columbia River upon the arrival of Lewis and Clark.[1]

According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, the sculpture measures {{Convert|8|ft|8|in|m}} × {{Convert|6|ft|m}} × {{Convert|6|ft|3|in|m}} and is mounted to a stone base that measures {{Convert|5|ft|6|in|m}} × {{Convert|7|ft|6|in|m}} × {{Convert|9|ft|6|in|m}}.[1][2] The base includes an inscription with the title of the work. The pedestal displays the text "Presented to the City of Portland by the Family of David F. [sic] Thompson".[2]
