Two cedar carvings by Indigenous artists have taken their place along the Seattle waterfront.
One carving by artist Randi Purser of the Suquamish Tribe depicts Chief Sealth — for whom the city of Seattle is named — as an infant in his mother's arms.
The other, by Tyson Simmons and Keith Stevenson of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, depicts a warrior, "representing 'strength and honor for the people,'" per a city blog post.
The two cedar carvings are part of a display stretching from Columbia to Spring streets. Photos courtesy of city of Seattle
