Native American fisherman sculpture: Sculpture Saturday

This life-sized Native American fisherman sculpture is at the Columbia Gorge Museum in Stevenson, Washington. This sculpture shows how people of nearby tribes fished in the Columbia River with dip nets. One of their favorite fishing spots was at Celilo Falls. When The Dalles Dam was completed in 1957, the falls disappeared within hours.

Today, you might see a Native American fisherman fishing from platforms at Cascade Locks, Oregon, near the Bridge of the Gods.

To taste locally harvested seafood, be sure to visit the Brigham Fish Market in Cascade Locks. They serve great fish and chips and clam chowder!

  • Thanks for including me in these. I will be out for knee replacement on Monday so these will be a special treat, to be thinking of you and the water class! Celeste

  • The sculpture is done very well and the artist is clever to create it, liking the fishing platforms too.
