Title

Chief Mahaska (White Cloud) Statue, dedicated in 1909 to the City of Oskaloosa; Mahaska County, Iowa

Description

This statue of Chief Mahaska of the Ioway Nation, for which the County of Mahaska was named, was dedicated to the City of Oskaloosa in 1909 at the famous town square. Oskaloosa is the county seat for Mahaska County, so it is very fitting that a statue of Mahaska be placed in the heart of the county which bears his name.
