In September members of the Kaskaskia, a Native American tribe of the Illinois Confederation, led French explorers Louis Jolliet () and Père Jacques Marquette, S.J. () through the portage that was well known to Native Americans for centuries and later called the Chicago Portage. The statue depicts that event, showing a Native American pulling the canoe where water meets land, and Jolliet in the middle and Father Marquette, a cross upon his chest, standing outside the canoe and pointing ahead. For hundreds of years, early travelers, traders, and settlers had to carry their canoes and its contents overland through the Chicago Portage between the Chicago and Des Plaines Rivers. It was on this tract of Illinois land little changed since the mid17th century where Marquette and Jolliet, the first French explorers to open up the Old Northwest Territory, once stood.
