The sculpture Tedyuscung – a tribute to the Lenape who were forced out of their homeland – is high up on Council Rock. By the way, the name of the park Wissahickon comes from two Lenape names "wissauchsickan" and "wisamickan" meaning yellow colored stream and catfish stream.

Renowned sculptor John Massey Rhind crafted this impressive 15-foot limestone statue. The sculpture depicts a crouching Native American gazing westward. The statue's name is inspired by a Native American who played a pivotal role as a negotiator between the French, Quakers, and Native Americans during the 1700s.
