The title of this exciting exhibit refers to the continuity of Native culture. The art work ranges from purely traditional weaving and beading to contemporary paintings and a new bronze from Doug Hyde. Dug did the wonderful bronze and granite sculpture, “Return,” which stands in the Josephy Center courtyard. The new piece depicts a Nez Perce woman warrior.
Phil Cash Cash, who recently curated the Indigenous Sasquatch show at the High Desert Museum in Bend has three paintings. And ten additional artists from the Nez Perce Reservation in Lapwai, Idaho and the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon are booked for the show. The art work is for sale, with the possibility of a few items that can be taken away on Saturday. Most items will remain part of the show until it ends on June 6.
Thanks to the Nez Perce Tribe for support, to curator Jordan Shawl of Nez Perce Tourism, to Jacy Sohappy of Crow’s Shadow and Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland, and to Stacia Morfin of Nez Perce Tourism for bringing the salmon, providing transportation for artists, and much more.
The show is presented by the Josephy Library of Western History and Culture.
