About
An eight foot bronze statue of the Algonquin Chief Tessouat, a respected leader and trade negotiator whose people controlled travel along the Ottawa River from Morrison Island. He is shown at ground level holding a talking stick, as if just back from a trading journey. It stands outdoors on the grounds of the Canadian Museum of History and is free to see at any time.
