Plateau Native Arts Celebration
April 26, 2008: Nine artists from the Yakama, Cayuse and Nez Perce nations will demonstrated the arts of the Columbia River Plateau region of eastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The public was able to meet the artists, see how they practice their craft, and learn more about the living culture of the Plateau.
Plateau Native Arts Celebration was presented in association with two exhibits at the museum, Peoples of the Plateau: The Indian Photographs of Lee Moorhouse, 1898-1915 and This Place Called Home. The artistic styles demonstrated live by the artists brought to life the long traditions of craft and technique behind the Plateau objects featured in the exhibits.
