Peter Toth was invited by the Church of Hawaii Nei to carve his 58th statue commemorating Native Americans. This statue is dedicated to the legendary islander Maui Pohaku Loa. Local artist, Maui Loa assisted the artist with the design of the sculpture and made a colored painting that appears on the proper right side of the base. Weyerhaeuser Paper Company donated the tree truck, which is either Douglas fir or redwood. The carving was part of a federal project called: "Made by Native Hawaiians," sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, although no money accompanied the sponsorship. The sculpture was damaged slightly by a fire June 21, 1993.
