The Spokane River's lower falls was a popular spot for several Native American Tribes. During annual salmon runs the Salmon Chief would provide spiritual blessing over the catch, decide when and where to catch and divide the salmon amoung the tribes to ensure each had enough for the winter. This sculpture located in Huntington park next to the falls, was created by Colville native Virgil “Smoker” Marchand. When the park was renovated the statue was installed as a reminder of the native heritage here. I offer a variety of landscape, nature and wildlife images and fine art digital paintings. I also have many agricultural, farming and countryside images as well. Most of my work is from around the Pacific Northwest, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, British Columbia, and Alberta. Please look through my galleries or visit my website to view my full portfolio. All of my work is original and copyrighted. The watermarks will not be on your final print. Thank you for looking and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
