"Treasures of the Northwest Plateau Culture"
Pendleton, OR
Apr. 25-26, 2008
Join us for a two-day immersion in the art, history and culture of the indigenous people of the U.S. Northwest. We will view beautifully embellished traditional and contemporary garments modeled by members of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. We will view the collections of the 10,000 square-foot museum of the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, including the permanent exhibition on the history of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla people. Stepping into the collections vault, we will see exquisite Plateau garments and regalia never before displayed. We will also tour Pendleton Woolen Mills, the Umatilla County Historical Society Museum at Heritage Station, the Pendleton Art Center, and Hamley's Western Store and Saddlery. This program is an extraordinary opportunity to observe the history, art and artifacts of these early Americans. (Image from Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, courtesy Dallas D. Dick) |  |
