Coming of the White Man depicts two Native Americans, one of which is Chief Multnomah, looking east toward the route by which white settlers arrived in Oregon. It was sculpted in 1904 by Hermon Atkins MacNeil, cast by the Bureau Brothers Bronze Foundry and donated by the family of David P. Thompson.
