CANNON BEACH — For
centuries, the area known now
as Cannon Beach was a wel-
come place for members of
the Clatsop, Nehalem and Til-
ODPRRN WULEHV WKDW ¿VKHG DQG
traded in a local village called
NeCus’.
Next year, a wooden statue
of a young Clatsop man may
beckon visitors coming to the
village. The statue also would
be accompanied by two inter-
pretive signs.
The Palette Group, a sub-
committee of the city parks
committee, is proposing that
a 10-foot tall cedar “welcom-
ing pole” be erected along
the bank of Ecola Creek at
the edge of NeCus’ park.
The statue of the young man,
which would be seen from the
Fir Street Bridge, will face the
ocean, as tribal members once
did when they greeted their
guests.
The Palette Group submit-
ted the proposal to the city’s
public arts committee this
month and requested that the
committee recommend it for a

it would be carved by mas-
