Kichi Zïbï Innini (Great River Man)

This bronze sculpture of an Anishinabeg scout is located on Kìwekì Point (formerly Nepean Point), in Ottawa, behind the National Gallery of Canada.

The sculpture was created in 1918 by Hamilton MacCarthy. It was intended to depict how Indigenous people helped French explorer Samuel de Champlain navigate the Kichi Zïbï (Ottawa River).

In its new context on Kìwekì Point, the monument is intended to be a place for visitors to contemplate the role of the river in the traditional way of life and worldview of the Algonquin Anishinabeg people, who have lived in this area since time immemorial.
