Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture

The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture presents “Plateau Celebrations: Cultural Transitions in the Indian Reservation Era,” September 26, 2009 – February 13, 2010. Nespelem Art Colony portrait paintings, horse regalia, clothing, and archival photos illustrate American Indian cultural transitions from the 1930s reservation era. Tourists and spectators traveled to Indian reservations to glimpse a dying way of life. Instead, Plateau Indian celebrations introduced them to the resilience of American Indian identity. Museum hours are Wednesday - Saturday: 10am - 6pm.
