"Ikala Nawan" ("Man Who Fishes") was sculptor Peter Toth's 57th "Whispering Giant." It was carved in 1987 out of cedar log and placed on a concrete base. The sculpture was carved to honor the Chinook, Clatsop, and all Northwestern Coastal Indians. It is difficult to get to this statue as it now resides by an RV dump site.
