This is more than a beautiful statue. It is a tribute to two indigenous Seattleites and Leschi community members who I believe helped define the soul of Seattle.
Bernie Whitebear led the invasion of Fort Lawton in 1970 which resulted in land being set aside for the construction of the Daybreak Star Center Indian Cultural Center at Discovery Park.
Luana Reyes was a tireless advocate for Indian health and all who had limited access to health care, serving as Executive Director of the Seattle Indian Health Board.
The statue was built by their brother and artist, Lawney Reyes.
Each of these figures embody a passion for community and advocacy that is folded into Seattle’s last, present, and future. Next time you’re driving or walking past, take a moment to marvel at it and reflect.
