On May 22, 2004, Interaction, a contemporary Coast Salish sculpture by Native artist Susan A. Point (b. 1952), is unveiled at the Port of Friday Harbor’s Fairweather Park on San Juan Island. The monumental carved and painted cedar-house-post sculpture is “the first public acknowledgement of the island’s tribal heritage” (Walker) and represents a healing chapter in local history. Located just above the harbor near the Washington State Ferry landing, the house posts stand as Portals of Welcome.
