Geocache Description:


This 23-foot-high pole was carved from red cedar and donated by the U.S. Forest Service from a Baker Lake cut. The Maiden was completed in a painstaking carving process that took about a year. Ko-kwal-alwoot commemorates 100 years, celebrated in 1983, of changing relations toward understanding between Indian and non-Indian communities in Skagit County.

Long ago a maiden named Ko-kwahl-alwoot risked her life to save the Samish people from starvation. She did so by agreeing to marry a man of the sea, who threatened to take the plentiful sea-life away from the area if she did not. Her reluctant father demanded that Ko-kwahl-alwoot return annually. But, after about four years of visits, it became increasingly difficult for her to return to the village. And so, today, Ko-kwahl-alwoot lives eternally underwater.

Since that time she has been their guiding spirit, and through her efforts there has always been plenty of shellfish and food of all kinds in that vicinity, and the spring water has always been pure and sweet.

Visitors may look into the currents of Deception Pass and be fortunate enough to see, in the waters, the Maiden's hair, drifting gently with the tide!
