When in Hillsboro, Ore. visit Chief Kno-Tah...
Hi- Along TV Hwy (8), Hillsboro, Ore., one can see the carved Native American man named Chief Kno-Tah. The 400 year old tree was carved by Peter "Wolf" Toth. Hillsboro Parks & Recreation installed this figure head September 25, 1987 at Shutes Park.
The name of Chief Kno-Tah is taken from the chief of the Tualitin tribe of Indians. He was the chief who agreed to the "land cessions" treaty granting the white man control of the Tualitin plains.
These photos that I have installed were taken at dusk. While the quaility of the photos maybe lacking, Chief Kno-Tah is a must see.
