Exhibit makes debut in area
Saturday, October 04, 2008 | No comments posted.
The Bay Area hosts the statewide debut of Oregon Historical Society’s “Oregon is Indian Country” exhibit. The society developed the three-part exhibit with Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes.
The exhibit will open Wednesday and will offer different components at the Coos Bay Public Library, the North Bend Public Library and the Coos Historical & Maritime Museum in North Bend.
“Oregon is Indian Country” incorporates native voices, artifacts and photographs. The three are “The Land,” “Traditions That Bind” and “Federal Indian Policies.”
Noted historian and author, Dr. Stephen Dow Beckham will speak on “Oregon’s Indian Voices: 1792-2008” at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Coos Bay Public Library. Copies of his books on aspects of Oregon history will be available for sale, with proceeds to benefit the Coos Historical and Maritime Museum. From 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 and 25, the public is invited to visit the Coos Historical and Maritime Museum to observe experts demonstrate traditional technology for cedar plank splitting, weaving and other traditional skills. For more information, call Vikki McLain at 756-6320.
